Drove my Dads park avenue supercharged from MI to FLA. Just taped the upper grill with Blue tape and tire pressure to 42psi, got 31.6 mpg for the trip. Was hoping to get 30 so I was pleasantly surprised. target highway speed, 70mph.

Saab 9-5 Aero wagon here. Doing about 25mpg around town and 29mpg highway. That's loaded up with the fam and going as fast as I can without getting tickets. Reasonable I think for a heavy family wagon with 250hp!

I didn't even see this thread until now. I noticed the turbo team in someone's signature and joined a while back.

Running a highly modified lean-burn turbo-compound (high pressure and low pressure turbo) system on a 4G63 DSM 2.0L engine.

My personal best so far is 38 mpg at 65 mph freeway.

Thanks for creating the thread and team.
