<![CDATA[Wanted: gas mileage]]>well then you should have stated that, by the way you said it. i was in belief that the 14b was no good over 19psi.
but IM not stupid, some people might be thou, and not know any better.

that's another matter altogether. with a big fmic, the 14b can produce power upwards of 20psi, but it's a matter of filling that huge space with pressure.

any turbo can produce huge psi ratings, just don't use a wastegate

more power casn be made in the lower 20's if the air is cool. throw logic out the window...

also, i heard the 14b can spike to 30psi....

18psi on the 14b is just about as far as it can go to maintain efficiency, i run mine at 19... though my smic is a little bigger

After about 20 a 14b starts shooting super heated air and losses alot of it efficiency.

When you were racing he was talking about how 14B's blow all the time. That 18 PSI was probably not the most healthy thing for it. :x

Was my first run ever and I didnt know WTF I was doing. I started that 40mph run in 4th, thats why you pulled so fast. You will still beat me...but maybe not my a mile next time. 😢

If I go easy on it I get about ~200 mi per tank...maybe just a little over. If I rod on it I get the same its the wierdest thing. Im still on the tank that I ran at the BBQ and even will all the hard accel and crap I will still get about 200 mi to the tank. I dunno wtf its problem is. Being AWD and an Auto it eats gas :x

I don't think putting non premium gas in to a car that says it needs it is a good idea. Joel... the best way to get good gas milage is to GET OFF THE PEDAL! More coasting! The night of the BBQ I went through 10 gallons of gas. Why? Becuase i was on the gas almost the entire time. That's like... 3-5mpg. To get good gas milage you should shift lower, then if its possible put it in neutral and coast where you don't need acceleration.

It's all about the way you drive. I can either get ~300 miles on a tank, or 150... depending on the speed / how fast I accelerate.

Looking for another car already? You may want to take in to consideration the taxes and shit you have to pay

I just got my license on wednesday and have found out gas isn't cheap. I knew this before but a small 4 door, 5 2.5 liter car should be pulling out more than 15 mpg on 92 octane gas, dontcha think? I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could save soem money, if I need a tune up, or whats the deal? Im all up for selling my car if itsgonna save me some money, It is 95 bucks a month for insurance, and its going to rise soon. I was thinking something more showy, with more aftermarket than a 5 cylinder. Any Ideas would be welcomed warmly!
