Sorry, but if you're driving faster than 50 mph, then no way are you going to see 26 mpg. The faster you go, the higher you engine revs. The higher it revs, the more gas it burns. If you want to get more mpg on the highway, then you have to stay at 50 mph. I'd rather burn more gas, IMHO. Then again, if you brought a turbo, I don't think you were expecting high mileage. No turbo I ever worked on obtained good gas mileage. [:I] I guess you trade mileage for power; no car's perfect.
