Default gas mileage with a pt4400 and g5x2

This is not a question. just what I have been getting.

With driving normally (going to 3500-4200 rpm for normal city driving) and 1-2 WOT runs to 70ish i was averaging 15mpg with half city half highway.

Now with only taking it to 2500 rpms while accelerating, no WOT runs, and no more then 60 on the highway im averaging 22.5 mpg with 50/50 city highway driving.

Not too bad for a car that runs mid 11's

I get around 15 city only and 23-25 on the highway depending on my cruise speed. Normal accleration for me is 2500ish....that's staying with traffic. Not too shabby IMO!

yeah i never realized how much keeping the rpms down during acceleration helps. going from 200 miles with a full tank to 210 miles on 10 gallons is awesome.
