[QUOTE="scott r, post: 550650, member: 62870"] LOL, it SHOULD use more gas at WOT, since it's also forcing in more air. However, when driving NORMALLY, I really don't lose that much gas mileage. I figured it was about 1 mile/gallon. I suppose if the drive had a LOT of hills (such as in the mountains), you would probably get BETTER gas mileage since you wouldn't have to shift down gears and run at higher RPMs. That's just my theory though, I haven't had the chance to test it yet. I can tell you it's a HELLUVA lot more fun to drive. It had rained all night here, but the roads had NEARLY dried off, so I decided to get out and see what kind of burnout I could do (no, I didn't get it on video, but I suuuuure wish I could have)...anyway, I pulled out in front of my house and brake torqued it a bit, when I had let off, I was already into 2nd gear...the tires kept spinning all the way through 2nd and about 1/2 way through third. The road behind me had completely DISAPPEARED from all the smoke. haha. That's gotta be one of the best smells ever. ;) [/QUOTE]
