Gas Mileage

What are the V6 FI cars seeing on the hwy for gas mileage? This seems like a good way to go if you want decent mileage and available power when needed.

Gretchin mentioned awhile back that he was getting close to the same and when the tune was finallized he expected the at least the same. I assume that still holds up it was about a month ago I believe.

Yeah, it's about the same. Jim505 is getting a little over 30 on the highway, and I think PT_Killa was getting even better. Generally turbos improve the gas mileage a bit on most cars, as long as you can keep your foot out of it.
