LTFTs are most likely deep in to the negatives.
Fixed Rob's S/C car at the Fest.

427TT here - normal driving with a few quick blasts and I'll get about the same, maybe 190 miles to a tank.

Typically I get about 110 miles to a tank though.

That's fuel build up from closed loop fuel trims being too negative.
Rob's car was doing the same thing.
My forged 347 with 60s was getting 24-26 hwy, 18-19 around town. Average 22.
If I put the cruise on I was good for 30.
Pick up my 408 15psi 2morrow to start the break in, should be 725+.
I'll post my fuel use.

I average 20 MPG with my TT setup. I can get around 30 MPG on the expressway with the cruise control set.

Damn, 9 mpg and you're not even driving it hard? I guess when you consider a stock 450 horse Viper averages about the same, it doesn't seen too bad considering you're making about 300 horse more. Even still, that doesn't sound right.

On my 500 mile trip back to Toronto from ECS, I averaged 28.7 mpg with cruise set at 75 mph.

Drop the hammer though, and you'd swear your flushing a toilet....

~17-18mpg city, and the one highway trip I did netted 27+mpg averaging 81mph. If I'd slowed a bit, it would have been a little higher.

Here are some stats...

RACETRACK MPG: 8 - 10MPG (WOT!)
HIGHWAY MPG: 33MPG @ 75MPH (AC ON)

You have to admire a car that can race with the best of them, them convert to a Honda Civic in MPG on the highway.
