the power lifter is a bad analogy...
lets look at it this way... you have a N/A car it makes 300hp then you add ram air system... now it makes 315hp on the same tune... the car uses the same amount of fuel on both applications one just makes more power. Acceleration is now faster meaning getting up to desired speed takes less time so your burn duration is shorter. You are able to use less throttle to maintain that speed even if it is just a small amount... I am just writing down what the car is getting for mileage... I have driven Hi HP cars for a while now and understand you dont need to flaunt it 24/7 when driving! I find that I can still get great gas mileage with them. Others dont always get similar results because they floor it all the time. SC'ers will get worse mileage than a TT because your always in boost...
