unless all 65 of those miles are taking local roads only and non freeway roads. I take it that most of the driving are u freeway so that explains the higher mpg.

Unfortunately no, most of them 65 or through towns and connecting roads, I think I am on the freeway for about 15 miles total.

About 60% highway, 40% city. I drive like a granny on the streets but rip most of the highway at about 80~85 mph. I got a speeding ticket not too long ago on the highway so I'll see how it runs on a cumulative scale at about 70~75 mph on the highway.

It's all in how you drive. If you go WOT all the time, F/I WILL drink more gas than N/A. It's simple - more air needs more fuel.

MPG: 16-18 depending on how I drive
6MT or 5AT: 5AT
SC, ST or TT: JWT TT
Boosting Level: 6.8 psi
Injector Size: stock
Stock Fuel Pump: not sure, what the JWT TT comes with. Isn't the walboro though
WHP/WTQ: 355whp / 321wtq

2006 6MT Coupe
Turbonetics single turbo
340 whp @ 8.5 PSI
Highway = 26 mpg cruising at 70 - 75 mph and staying out of the boost.

In other words...When I am not on the boost it gets the same milage that it did when it was stock. If I am in the boost all of the time it is dramatically worse.

I tested this on an 800 mile trip from Nebraska to Michigan.
