Maybe I'll check around my area for any events that might be running a dyno-day discount or something . . . run the car to almost empty on one grade of fuel, do some runs, then fill it up with the new grade & do a few more runs.

Before I super charged my, car I was consisitently getting 37 to 39 MPG, mostly in the mid 38 mpg area..... This is driving the speed limit, slow and easy, where there are likely to be cops and 75 to 100 mph on stretches where I feel safe..... I was able to manage 33.7 when I filled up today but I am soft pedalling most all of the time, but when I get on the boost on occasion, it really kills my mileage average.
