Hence why I said "if you had one". I'm guessing the answer to my question is that you mind, that's cool - keep it mysterious I guess.
What about the pic you posted when some a-hole hit your car?Quote:

99% highway, very few cars. Kind of skeptical of the number due to the way each station's pump clicks off, as well as 4 - 5 other variables I can think of.
The only way you.can really be sure is if you fill all the way up to the top of the filler neck ever y time
Yeah, but I heard it causes damage to the thing which recaptures evaporated gas. Not worth it over something like this.
who the fack cares
Hahaha.Quote:

You should see my Fuelly chart then, loki. Up and down like that 80 degree drop roller coaster at Wonderland

Yeah, I'm neither stressing out over it nor am I trying to one-up anybody by doing highway fuel economy runs. I like to do these little experiments from time to time just to see if I can do it. 43+mpg is hard to swallow, though...Quote:

Time to get rid of it

Lol I can drive the car properly, and know where my limits are. If my instructors thought i was going to end up in a wall i would not have been moved up into the "fast" group with the boss 302, new carerra, z06, etc.
They wouldent have let me drive it all out and have been telling me we can still go faster without the boost cut.
2 instructors noticed the SWAS was holding me back on exit, i had boost up on my AP and we were watching it cut boost when we needed it.
You cannot use all the track properly with swas on a gen2, it is garbage.
Myself and my instructors both FELT and SAW the car cutting boost when we needed it.
Cant deal with that for another 10+ track events this year.
Wire it up on a switch so you can turn it on and off whenever you want...job done.
