I've been reading alot on these forums now and Ive been thinking about doing all the big upgrades (bigger injectors, fuel pump, bigger turbo, FMIC, etc...). But one question has kinda been eating away at me, what kinda gas mileage do most of you guys get after you do all of these mods?
 
I quit looking at gas mileage once I started adding mods. My mileage is not TOO bad now, but I have seen a negative impact.
 
I have also seen about 10-40 miles less to a tank depending about how much I'm on boost.

Later,
 
so there isn't a real drastic change? Thats good to know.
 
I was a little over 300/tank when I first got my eclipse. Now I get about 220-250 (if I push it). I found the "error" of our gas gauge to be a benefit actually. I know I can drive round trip from home to work with the needle on "e". But then I better fill up when I get back home. Decided not to fix it after I found that out.
