Like I get it was spirited, but correct me if I’m wrong, that’s trash mpg’s, right?
fuel rail problem? Fuel line leak?
it’s got a new Bosch fuel pump and fully refreshed engine.

Re: Why did I go through 3/4 of a tank or fuel in 2 days of spirited driving?

i did 12000 miles in two days when driving to quebec and back from quebec to tennessee. filled tank 4 times in two days

A day of autoX would yield me 8MPG, since we only run 1st and 2nd gear.

MPG is a actual number.
Tanks per day have no meaning without the distance, gear used, etc.

you should call it tanks/day instead of miles per gallon... Not that it will have any meaning...

That’s very true. Let me get an average figured and I’ll get back to you.
