How's your gas mileage???

I'll be looking to get rid of my GST in favor of a TII sometime this summer... I know rotaries don't get the best gas mileage, but I still want one. I was just wondering just how MPG do you usually get?? My GST get me about 26mpg highway and 20mpg city driving...

thats crazy maybe 400 KM to a tank, unless they have a bigger tank than 16.8 which is what most FC's have, after grounding my ecu and leaning out the low setting on my SAFC I get about 250-280 depending on how I drive,I usally get around 14-17 MPG, but I usally fill up my car when it has atleast 2-3 gallons in it...

I am getting around 325-350KM per tank (car is canadian so its in KM). Before I added intake, exhaust, and new fuel filter and o rings on injectors I was lucky to get 290-300.

If you stay outta the secondary injectors you might sqeek near 400 with a n/a.

I've been getting about 200km per tank, which works out to about 180 miles? so thats like 12 miles per gallon

I am experiencing remarkably shitty gas mileage right now. I've tracked It down to the ECU. I think.

My turbo was terrible after I installed the non-tuned Haltech. I limped to Dallas and had Rotary Performance dyno tune it for me. I then drove from Dallas to Lubbock on one tank of gas. Maps.com tells me that is approximately 347 miles. That is better than it was getting when it was an N/A! I was pleasently surprised. I think I averaged around 70 mph.

In my case ignorance is bliss, I think I have poor mileage from a tank of gas but have no way to check. My odometer has been stuck at 170001 miles since I bought the car in November 2002. I thought about fixing it - but why? (speedo works, that's all I care about).
