Lets see, with about 50% highway, and 50% city driving, getting on it about 30% of the time my Si gets about 270 miles to a tank - When it is all the way empty (gas lite staying on), a little over 10 gallons fills it up.

Mine is a H22 and i do 300miles a tank and its ~12 gal each time i fill up. And a gallon is $3.05 = $36.60 So that is about 25 mile per galon. I'm using 750cc and a Walboro 255lph too. Something is wrong with your tuning 289whp here

32-38 mpg...i tuned it myself on Crome really pushing the limit on my own car of 'lean burning' in the part throttle/cruise areas

you should be getting stock or better after a tune on Neptune unless they only did WOT tuning

Can we refer to it as MPG instead of miles per tank please? I don't think anyone runs their car until they run out of gas.

Thats 27 mpg... Not 270 miles a tank. Your tank has more than 10 gallons.

I usually get &lt;25mpg. I'm curious how much fuel is burned because of the turbo timer.

Sure, but your roads are better, and public transportation is the best in the world, as are the bike paths. Plus, there are other "benefits" to living there.

People if you wanna get better gas mileage look into water injection systems and retune your car.

WTF does water injection have to do with part throttle fuel fuel comsumption?

To the original poster, the problem is most likley your tune. Your tuner probably didn't even touch the higher vacume columns of the fuel maps.

I have the same problem... but I haven't really tune part-throttle yet.... I get about 120 to the tank with mixed driving(dyno tunned WOT only).

I used to get 250+ to the tank with my street tune.
