MPG plummets after Borla install.

I knew I was going to take a hit with the Borla exhaust install. But 14.23 MPG is the lowest I've seen. It's hard to not WOT with that sweet sounding system. Guess I'll just have to slow down or I'll never see any decent gas mileage.

Re: MPG plummets after Borla install.

I bet with that new sound you're also giving it a couple "blips" of the throttle at lights.

Wide Open Throttle. This will assure that you get low gas mileage.
