yeah, if your getting 10mpg something is wrong. i got 300+ miles a tank when i was breaking mine in.
unless your definition of breaking in involves lots of track time and a majority of the engine time about 5000rpm...

Mine breaking in was really bad too... like ~12 mpg, and that's BOTH times I had to break it in... but we won't get into that... and as the miles rolled on, it got better and better, and now with my TBE it's even better... Your ECU is just probably one that's running extra rich, get a tune or an S-AFC

Highest I have ever got is about 240 miles on one tank....about 21 mpg? Most of the time I get 200miles flat. This is with a TBE and an upgraded intercooler. Still running rich

It might be something dumb like your fuel level sender not working right. Who knows, it could be A LOT of things.
As I recall however, I did get very bad mileage my first tank or two. After that, I was getting like 25 mpg on 93. Then i switched to sunoco 94 and I get like 20 mpg.

i'll burn another tank through it and see what it does.
last time i filled it up. 103miles and 9.43 gallons... so i guess 11mpg..not 10
my tank was down to half way- on the gauge- at like 50-60 something miles...
