Just wondering. I searched, but didn't find anything. State how much boost you are running and how much a gas guzzler your car is.

Driving to work, mostly highway, 35-40mpg. Only spool a few times getting on the highway and changing lanes.
City driving, spooling a pretty decent amount, 30-35mpg.
This is on 6psi daily driving.
10psi is not much worse on city driving, maybe 1-2mpg lower.

This is assuming your fuel system and tuner are smart enough to get the idle and part throttle driving fuel amounts correct.

City Driving---> it's kinda a killer- quick spooling, even at 1/4 throttle 28-30mpg stop lights everywhere!
Highway driving---> only about 2 or 3 mpg under any n/a 7thgen. Only spools when getting on the highways and changing lanes or passing old people.
You only burn more fuel than N/A when you're under boost. Which is only when ur accelerating quickly. Any other time ur running 10+ mm hg vac.

Rep Power: 0 Nice info, thanks Eternal Blue. I figured Id have some issues with gas and spooling with this kit, but its all good. Ill take less busy roads. Or more freeway driving.
Peace
I finally ordered my kit 2 days ago, BTW. On Monday it ships from Cali to AZ, so it shouldnt take more than a day or two to get here. I cant wait to start installing parts. IC first of course. So I can get rid of my busted grill thats chipped half the paint off.

Rep Power: 285 I've gotten to the point where even when accelerating, i try to stay outta boost if i really don't need it. Like when there's no cars around, i just accelerate onto the highway like an n/a civic.
