Why do you "feel" you are getting fewer MPG? Do you have any evidence of a change or just a "feeling"?

It's cause you are driving harder subconsciously for the sound of the vq note

I'n the morning idk if it's condensation, pretty sure it's not gas leaks out of my tip... And I never saw that with stock, or maybe it didnt show?... And yes I'm sure my foot did get heavier, and no proof just a feeling:(

Feeling like your losing mpg?

Sometimes it's the inevitable when modding more BUT some mods help mpg. As others have said once you mod you do tend to have more spirited bursts which will cause a loss of mpg.

Also, you do have a MPG monitor on the dash display so you know for sure instead of guessing. I always reset mine every full tank...

Simple math problem. Miles divided by gallons=mpg. "Feeling" like you're getting less mileage is a little odd, wouldn't you say?
