Yes I should also mention that when my foot isn't in it (ahem...

) I get about 28MPG on my GTE. Low compression off boost means it can run super lean, therefore minimal fuel per stroke. The ECU definitely takes advantage of this and you can tune it out to be better. Low side I get about 9MPG. Lol. Seriously. 9MPG
