REALLY GLAD about my 8 today!!

hi guys, first of all i want to say thank you everyone, you guys are really helpful...!!

if u guys remember i've been saying i got 10MPG, today i did a longer trip than just going to work (2.6miles one way)which is from SF to SANTA CRUZ,

overall i got 210.1 and used 11.1 GAL

which is 18.9..almost 19 MPG...really really happy about that...hopefully my 8 can keep up with that

another exciting thing was, i kicked a TC' AS.. today with my stock 8 ~~haha~~he got a really loud exhaust ...

8 is awesome~~!!

Really you shouldn't brag about street racing on here - a good way to get banned.

Wouldn't it be common sense to judge MPG on something other than a 2.6 mile trip to/from work where the car barely even gets warm?

Are you like 16?

He said nothing about racing, hes taking highway turns at 55mph which is plenty safe....

STREET RACING IS ILLEGAL

also 2.6 miles is not enough to barely get out of open loop let alone get up to full operation temp and actually be somewhat efficient
