I know what you mean, I used to have a '97 Honda Del Sol with a B16A2 VTEC and a GReddy Turbo. I had a laptop and software that allowed me to tweak the fuel map and boost control (as well as change the set point of the VTEC, and the Fuel Cutoff). With the proper tuning I could easily get 35+ MPG, but with a few clicks I could put 275-300 HP to the wheels and absolutely kill my tank average. It's a lot of fun to run it up to 9200 RPM while accelerating.
