    Really...ouch. I consistently get 300+ even with my heavy steel wheel/off road tire combo.

    Doesn't the SuperCharger have much to do with that?

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    I have consistently gotten worse mpg since the wheels and tires (my wheels are HEAVY.... 27lbs IIRC). S/C didn't seem to change that for the better or worse. It also gets gassed up about once a month and driven mostly on Sundays. Who knows how much gas the garage gremlins siphon out of it.

    Pretty sad when my tuned (roughly 345hp now), turbocharged STi can get about 350 on a full 16gal tank (with about a gal or two to spare). 4 banger FTW!
