So I've worked on my bird quite a bit and it puts a grin on my face every time I drive it. Thing is, it's just really bad on gas now and I'm not sure if it's normal. I have 3.55 in the back and my car is a manual (I know, just haven't gotten around to switching them out), is this a big culprit for the poor mpg? I'm averaging 9.8MPG
I also believe that my tune is a bit on the rich side. I had to travel to the dyno and mail the chip back and forth to have it tuned so it was never perfect. I've been meaning to get a QH but don't have cash for it at the moment. I had the fuel pressure at 50 PSI when tuned (I had a junky meter and it said it was at 40 but now have a better one), could the tune with high FP cause the poor MPG? I have my mods listed in my garage if anyone is curious.
Is it possible that I'm actually seeing the right MPG? What do you guys think?
Thanks,
