the tune thats on there is pretty nice already but its at a dealership so they really cant give me an idea of the mpg i was just looking for the averages people are getting on their setups from the sounds of it i should expect it to stay right around stock from what chaotichoax said and why on earth would i give up grip I'm shooting for 1g lol but yes i do understand what you are saying with that post yahu
I normally hit 250 miles, but I do mostly highway driving, probably 75% or so. I also have BFG KDW2s, which have a lot of friction, but not as much grip as you'd expect.
I took an immediate and obvious hit to fuel consumption with these tires.Good to know you're shooting for more grip!
The sidewall on my tire is what makes it more of a mid-level performer for grip.

30 mpg on the freeway? maybe down hill, with the wind, no ac, in 6th gear . Come on, sounds like a tall tale to me. Awesome if this is true but I also have a tune from GST and nothing like those results. 20-22 mpg in the city, also hard to swallow. Maybe idleing around at 1.5 mph. lets try to keep this realistic not "my fish is bigger than your fish" ish

I get anywhere from 20-25ish. Thats at 25psi w/ tune, tbe, intake system, 255. All depends if you can keep it out of boost for a whole tank. I try but end up forgetting a few times

dead serious man, no bs. I don't boost unlelss i really have to, only got 30 on long trips a couple times but its all true. My average for town mileage is 20 with the best being 22 and the worst being 15. its how you drive not the mods, if you can't get good mileage its a you problem
