the gas mileage isnt that bad sebleroux08/tc!
it depends heavily on how you drive though.. I have a pretty wide range of what I get for mileage depending on how throttle happy I am.. Its hard not to be with all the ponies waiting to be unleashed!

the octane doesnt really have much to do with mileage at all (as much as people want to tell you that... its a myth) All higher octane does is help prevent pre-detonation, thats it. in my LT i got anywhere from 28-35MPG all of the time depending on hwy/city % and how throttle happy I was.. in the SS I'm between 24-32ish (so about 3MPG worse on average) with 91 oct (93 is a waste of $$ unless your on a custom tune, GMS1 is even only needs 91). so 3 MPG less with 100x more smiles per gallon is totally worth it and not really a kick in the nuts in terms of gas money either (maybe a grand total of $3 more a tank to fill it up is nothing).. I still get my 30+ MPG hwy so I'm happy with that!

yea those turbo'd xfe's get retarded good MPG when out of boost! its rediculous..
though I havent been patient enough to attempt to stay at 55mph either, so who knows what an LNF could get on that.. my hwy MPG's are normally with cruise at 70mph, I cant handle going slower than that lol. its really hilly around here too so I know that doesnt help me out..

welcome to the site 
now GET MOAR LOW
and maybe a smaller exhaust? loll that thing looks huge!
that's what I meant! I know that higher octane does ***** for mpg, I meant you get relatively the same mpg from base to turbo, except you need to fill it on high octane fuel which is what's a bit more pricey...but you get to tell the gas pump dude, ''no, not regular...supreme for that turbo, bitch. yeeeeeaaah

i think i spent like under 300 on pipes, map pad, bov v vand, and extra couplers. of course something went wrong and my map pad was 180 degress off and i didnt want to **** with it so when i dropped my car off at werks i told them to make me a new pipe, so that was like 200........
