Re: fuel consumption
 

None it might even get better on the highway if well tuned.

there was a thread on this recently and with a proper tune you can actually incease gas mileage. It all comes down on how you tune it

Re: fuel consumption
 

so u mean even with bigger injectors and chip etc etc... it will consume much fuel ???

And how heavy your foot is.
Once boosted your driving habits will change :)

Re: fuel consumption
 

stay out of boost any your gas mileage will be great....if you are tuned.

Re: fuel consumption
 

Your TUNING is the answer to EVERYTHING. Power, fuel economy, and reliability.

Re: fuel consumption
 

I assume you mean "it will not consume as much fuel?"

To answer your question, it's not the size of the injector, it's what you have controlling it that matters...

PS...sorry to double post

I drive my car like I stole it so my mielage pretty much sucks ass, also gets expensive when I get pulled over by the po-po every month. :P

Re: fuel consumption
 

my gas mileage is high as crap if i'm on boost most of the time :P but overall it's ok i guess...iit's not an economy car anymore :1 funny thing is that i used to drive it somewhat hard, and now that im boosted i like to drive smooth as butta and i floor it everyonce in a while when i getting on the freeway
