boost tube mileage test
now, remember i live in Alaska, so the winters are pretty harsh, with the weather fluctuating in the past month from -36 to a whopping 34 deg. yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,so for the first two weeks,
with boost tube i was getting 10 to 11 mpg.
the past week in a half since its been off, im getting 13 mpg,
these numbers are both calculated by gallons vs. mileage. (no lieometer)
these numbers are calculated with stock tune with mixed driving conditions, with an empty load.
stop and go,
highway,
15 min. auto starts every day
and there it is, better mileage with out boost tube,
but makes more power in the higher boost range with it.
