Damn dude... that's insane mileage.


Of course I NEVER drive that slow. LOL. I'm usually going 80 plus down 5.

I hate riverside. I used to live there. LOL. I'll be heading down sometime around the holidays though I think. Go visit my family.

Your girl going to UCR?

Yea I can't even get that out of my stock '12 forester. Best I got was 26.5 but that was also travelling 75 behind a Chevy Tahoe. On the way home it went to 25.5. But yea, I don't drive 65 or 70. I drive 75 or 80 most of the time.

I usually get about 300 miles out of a tank. I can get into 345 or so but I really have to drive smooth and slow.

Driving 75 down 5 I always have to fill up right before the grapevine. Avg was about 23 when I was stock and with my tune I'm at about 22.

Yeah I know.. its pretty bad.. I'm not positive but I dont remember my buddy saying the peak was 15.. thats what I get when I just get a tune off some forum called OSecuroms & XPT Tuning. I want to learn how to adjust my boost up to 17 and log for knock correction and stuff but I have a mac :/

Oh yeah and to the OP. Stop in buttonwillow or lost hills to get gas. Not bad prices and very convenient since there is a handful of places you can eat whether you wanna sit down at Denny's or grab a quit bite and taco bell, carls jr, subway, whateverrrr

I've gotten more than 27mpg going from SJ to Mexico. And I'm generally at 80mph throughout all of I-5. I'd say on average I get about 26. This is with a catless turboback and Accessport stage 2 tune.
