I'm waiting until after the first of the year when, hopefully, my Five Star Dealer [^] will give the "OK" for purchase and installation of the Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade with full-warranty coverage. Just have to wait and see... [?]

Anyone see similar results with an Autostick?

Those numbers look like boost numbers to me. 14 to 16 MPG would be very poor gas mileage for a 4 banger.

For Crazy Joe,
I get about 26 mpg with my autostick on long trips. Only engine mod is dual exhaust.

I ran into a guy at Home Depot a while back that had the same complaint of 16mpg, I wonder if there might be a problem with some of the stock pcms that the Stage I clears up (like the high rpm miss).

I would be loving 26MPG!!! Thanks Kirby. I have a late '02 PT GT so I will also check into the PCM TSB.

Yeah, 16 mpg is terrible. Granted, I've seen five when on it hard on a racetrack (ahem).

Mine gets 21-22 consistently, and I average 75-80mph per tank.

Sooo lets do the math here.

A. (21 + 22)/2 for an average of 21.5

B. so the problem would look something like this:
(x/21.5) = 75 <=80

Um, what? I get 21.5mpg * 12.5g = 268m per tank. Each tank takes 268m/80mph = 3.35 h to burn.
