8 PSI and gas milage

[Silvino]

I don't need people posting and telling me they get 30 MPG and all that BS. I need to know how low the gas milage of the people with a GSR are seeing when they romp on it all the time with a passanger riding most of the time. I've been driving my car like a madman and typically with aonther 200+ lbs of person along for a ride. My current tank is probably going to give me only 15-16 MPG..I've never gotten it this low. Only things I've done are remove the cat and add that resistor and I'm starting to wonder if the 2nd O2 does actually effect something the computer uses. I don't appear to be overly lean but who knows.

my car is turbo rather than sc'd but the worst i've seen is 18-19 with all city with about 70-30 ratio of regular - WOT driving ..

im running some 310cc's along with the regular upgraded pump/regulator setup .. boost set at 10 psi ...

15-16 doesnt sound that off if youre CONSTANTLY on it like you said ..

Mine is shit since I had to back timming down to 9 degrees to combat detination
Think it is like 19-22 combined

Honest officer, I had no idea how fast I was going...the speedometer only gos to 150...

Your gas mileage will be the same as a Chevy that makes the same power, driven the same way.
Your higher than stock fuel pressure that you drive with all the time (even normally aspirated)is working on the gas bill too.

It's started evening out to 19 MPG but I think this isn't a problem. I was literally on it almost every launch f'ing around. I guess under boost I'm going to use alot more gas than before since I'm making a ton more power. Thanks for the feedback gents.

off topic here but Silvino .. did u break in your new CM stage 3 yet? how is it? any chatter? does it fade/get soft after harsh driving?

The gas mileage will be better than the Chevy assuming they're both driven the same way. The Effective CR of the FI'd GSR is much higher resulting in higher efficiency and the GSR is much lighter.

All i know is that the first tank is already gone and i have only had the SC in for two days.

damit I am get mad cuz I only get about 22 mpg on 6 psi, but sounds like me and you drive about the same 70% at wot

[Silvino]

The clutch was driven like a baby for 50 miles then used kind of rough (no huge launches though or "clutch drops"). I haven't herd any chatter of any sort and I don't feel any weird things like a "fade" but then again I'venot been to the track with it and driving somewhere where shifts happen frequenty with high speed like at a road race or something.
