I only ever get around 200 in my AP1. I have seen a little better gas mileage but not much with my Greddy kit.

That really surprises me, hope your not talking 200 previously N/A

Or just adjust your blowoff valve to let out the boost. Easier.

True, hell I'm even heavy footed and enjoy many full throttle hits in a tank of gas on average and I didn't notice much difference at all in my mileage. I got 300miles per tank on average before and still get 300 with the SC, go figure. I tuned myself to about 12.5 -8:1 with a wideband, I'm 5 -5.5 psi average at 300whp. Stock injectors, a good tune, lightweight flywheel and tires/wheels with a conservative 4.30 gear ratio is a key factor in my good mileage.

Is your speedo recalibrated? otherwise, you're not really getting 300 miles per tank (unless you're tracking mileage another way)

Thats a good point, I didn't think of this. I am running 4.30 so without doing the math, maybe 280 actual miles. What do you think? My speed is off about 4mph at 60.

theres a big difference between city mileage and hwy mileage. and even then your interpretation of a city can be different. in ft laduerdale floirda i get 200 miles on a tank which when i fill i put in 10 gallons. i never push it to far. but on the hwy i can see 280 miles. rather then saying how many miles per tank you get, why not just say your mpg. its much easier to compare. i get 17-20 in the city and 26-29 on the hwy.
