Won't be able to get a scan gauge for some time, but I'll definitely get one eventually. You mention DWL, how would I go about trying that? I try to stay away from loading the engine to prevent the turbo from spooling, with the exception of steeper hills, where I use some boost to get me to the peak quicker to coast back down the other side.
Today I filled the car up with 87 octane, which for me is rare, and drove over 100 miles where 60% were back roads with hills and the remaining 40% was highway traveling at 65 indicated. The MPG display showed a highest of 40.7 mpg and at the end of my journey 36.7mpg (I know the computer display is always over by atleast 1 mpg), but that was a really good run. I'm well on my way to a 450-500 mile tank (which is hard for me with the lead foot)
