Exclamation This may be a stupid question, but what's your MPG w/FI?

Ok so I've gotten the tax return and thinking about going FI, but my Z is a DD. I was wondering for those that have stock blocks, what kind of MPG are you getting with 8-10psi. I want more power but I just want to know how much of the practical side of my car I'll be losing (MPG). Right now I'm getting a good average of 24.6mpg between HW/City. LOL Flame on if you want to .

In general not that much if you aren't boosting, but a lot if you are boosting. Again it's all about how you drive the car. However, if you are concerned about gas milage, you can't afford to go FI

If you believe the "vacuum" mpg gauge in the nav on the G's then I get 40+mpg when in boost hehehehehehe

No boost=about 370 miles to the tank...boosting= about 285 miles to the tank...which is usually about 15 gallons every fill up before the damn light comes on.

I have no idea, my MPG gauge says something like 40-50+ but my guess is when out of boost, maybe 30 or so thanks to the 3.3 rear end, however in boost, god only knows.
10-12? lol
