A good mpg story for a change :)

Wife just took the 50i to the beach and back for the weekend. All highway. She did about 70-75 for most of the way. Round trip was 304 miles and she averaged 19.7mpg. Not bad considering I have a tune on it.

Being in 8th gear will do that. Its the city driving that mostly engages the twin turbo.

We averaged just under 21 on a 2200 mile trip down to Florida and back last month. Considering a normal week's 13.5-14, I was thrilled.

The tune should actually improve your mileage.
