I was wondering what kind of gas milage are you guys getting out of the RB's 20/25/26. I Just Got a 25 with a 255 Walbro fuel pump and I was just wanting to know what will be my Avg. MPG.

My speedo on my 20 isnt connected either, but i probably only get about 8MPG, but then again, anytime i'm driving that car I'm usually between 5500 and 8500RPM. hehe, no but normal driving is excellent gas mileage probably like 20-25, but now I have 440cc injectors so that is no longer the case for me. When the hell are gas prices gonna go down anyway. What are ur guys' gas prices right now. I'm in Huntington Beach, CA and 91 costs $2.75 gallon. geez. I guess a better way of looking at it is 110 is only 3 times as much rather than 4 or 5 times.

Talked to a refinery manager he says they will be able to make gasoline from scratch at $3.50/gal. He also mentioned something about that happening this summer.

can i add something to the mix? my friend was telling me that out in the central us, they have greengas, which if im correct is 10% alcohol 90% gas , and 100 octane. now from what i read in some random article on fuel , alcohol, and methanol, have less potential energy than gasoline. so aside from the fact that your turn the boost up a little, would it require more greengas to drive the same distance? cuz that was the only negative factor we came up with. and supposedly its cheaper, since its refined grain alcohol. 100 octane= good, cheaper fuel=good, worse fuel economy=bad?sorry for the long post i been at work all night and im tired...

strike that and reverse that.its more like 85% ethanol and a bit of gas for lubercation lol.works well but the car has to be setup for it, i believe it burns diffrently than normal gas.
