im in the same boat with ya. 50 miles a day round trip

 

Dude,I work about two miles from my house and thats round trip from the house to work and from work back home

 

I get 250 a tank on full e85. You gotta fix your daily driving habits

 

Whats there to fix,I dont get in the car and punch it so Im in boost all the time I just cruise to work

Come on I work in Tolleson where the cops are the biggest ******* and they will stop you and give you a ticket for the dumbest thing

 

Sounds like you must be brake boosting everywhere.

 

What the **** is brake boosting

 

hitting the brake while flooring to launch at full boost.no point with us SC cars.good for big turbo cars that have lag.

Still no rain on this side..tomorrow I can detail the whips

 

Ur lucky my car is full of water spots and dirt right now

 

Hence why all our cars here are light or neutral colors except the black paint on my hood which is gonna go byebye.tired of it and I want a stock silver hood for trade.or maybe ill paint the rest myself(roofskin and deck lid

 

Invest in condoms?

Sorry bud but you're not drkngas in a 4 cylinder with stock injectors...

 

I agree with this.SC's withstock tune/injectors are capable of 27-32mpg(ive seen it.)Just have to drive normal and not race and make sure your cars running properly(tune up).My cobalt gets prolly 20 right now cause my foots in it alot but I have easily seen 25-26mpg with 60# injectors.Keep control of that right foot.If you wanna see what real bad gas mileage is you can drive a day with me in the CTS or the Navigator Then you can bitch

 

Of course the 2.2 is going to get better mileage, it has everything working in its favor. More efficient engine, lighter, less rolling resistance, less unsprung weight, less drag - it all adds up. However 270 on a tank with an ss/sc is perfectly normal for combined city/highway driving. If you drive like a granny you can stretch that to 300, and if you treat the throttle as an on/off switch you'll see that dip near 200 in a hurry.

If you can restrict yourself to the speed limit on road trips, you can break 350 on a tank easily. I made it from Phoenix to San Diego on a single tank in my ss/sc. Didn't quite make it on the t/c, but I was a little impatient and didn't follow my own advice.

 

Agreed^^^The CTS gets 18mpg and the Navigator....welp think of it as fords........Hummer. thats right!Slow as **** and gets 9mpg...9!!!and I just did a full tune up on it.Runs awesome.It's just a ******* tank!

 

Car is finally feeling better. Switched back to MAF after having a terrible issue with the VE fueling. Need to figure out that before I go back to MAP only. I went into boost with the MAF only and it did ok, it started pulling hard but I let off because the MAF isnt tuned all the way yet. Hoping it will be tuned on the way home today. I will do some full pulls to see how it feels and if the boost comes in smooth. If all feels good I will be putting it to 20 psi and put my timing to low 15* and high 25*. Make my car hit hard!

 

Okay, so I have good news and bad news... Good news: I ordered myself the Megan Racing catback last night. Bad news: it's back ordered until early to mid August. So I guess I have a few more weeks of rolling around with a loud exhaust and stupid rattle lol.

 

^should have just went to performance muffler in Phoenix and had him weld you up something nice.. He does it for cheap. I wont go anywhere else for my exhaust. He even made my Turbo DP for about 100$.. And that was difficult because of the space I didnt have.

 

ya russel at performance exhaust does great work for a awesome price he did my car chris, ejs, and steves sc cobalt

 

Yeah russel is the man!

 

Where were you guys on Sunday when I was asking what I should do?!

And any guesstimates as to how much it would cost to get a catback from them?

 

Sorry didnt see that post.

Not too sure. What size? Are you getting a resonator and muffler.

 

My BS of the day:

**** buying a house. I dont want to do it again if its the house I want to live in permanantly. This sucks. We are in the final week and I have to jump through hoops, take time from work, give them my first born.. ugh.

 

No worries, Ummm, I'm thinking 2.5" and I would need the whole thing. My muffler broke at the inlet to the resonator...lol

Here's the photo I posted of it on Sunday lol

 

Mine was $180 for a 3in catback no muffler just a resonator

 

Muffler will probably add about 100-140 depending.

 

Russ did my most recent exhaust work too. welded in a resonator and shortened some things for me for 30 bucks...
