I could have gotten more but I dind't want to run the tank totally dry, needless to say I still got 352 kilometers to one tank city driving with my mods & crazy tunning, I figure I could of made it to 370 no problems but why kill the pump, so I filled up at 352 kilometers, I'm more then happy.

Soon I'll get even more because I have a problem with my pressure relief valve on the gastank, it always vents to atmosphere so when my gas evaporates from the muffler heat it doesn't go to the charcoal canister but goes right out into the atmosphere.

Like I said, its still pretty damb good with my mods!

Damn! How much do you pay for a full tank? I pay about 40 bucks of a full tank of 92, and I'm lucky if it lasts 290 km all city!

You run 92 in your VW Jim?

How come?
Does the manual call for that?

Umm... Yeah. Drumhawk, my milage before the mods was in the high 400's like 450+ all city to a tank, so much for LS1 milage, but with my huge cam & heads, 4.10's etc... everyone stays below 300, ie. 250-280 k to a tank, that is why I posted, because even after all my mods I managed to get 352 & still had more left in her, once I fix the evap system I'm hoping for another 10-20 k, I think this is a world record for all city driving & my mods.
