| Do you think the 35 mpg is realistic? | |

| We would never see it When I had a built 2.0 ltr with stock fuel injection in my Porsche I would get 28-30 all day long. Not babying it, With Webers 20.  | |

| I think when I get a new throttle cable my MPG will actually go down. I have the original govenor, a bent cable. I mean a REALLY bent up cable.  | |

| My stock '70 gets about 30mpg on a good day. The turbo buggy is good for maybe 24mpg. The Trug is worse. 35mpg with a turbo just doesn't sound right. More air means more fuel consumed, doesn't it? But, on the other hand, if you're not in boost, you can run in that "zero vacuum" range all day long. As I understand it, zero vacuum is where the motor runs most efficiently. My personal experience is: screw the gas mileage! If you got a turbo, your foot is in it because it's sooo much fun! |
