I am not sure how people can get 20+ mpg on this car. Stock I was averaging 14mpg. Now with a giant turbo sitting there, I am getting somewhere between

I am not sure how people can get 20+ mpg on this car. Stock I was averaging 14mpg. Now with a giant turbo sitting there, I am getting somewhere between 8-12mpg.

I guess some of you guys bought a sports car to granny it.

Even if I drive it spiritedly at various points, I still manage 20mpg. I don't hotrod it every where I go, because for one it's not possible on my commute to work, no matter how hard I try, and two I still have to watch out for 5-0 so I try to keep it reasonable so as to have a chance to save my *** from getting a ticket.

In all reality it takes more skill to drive efficiently. I find it a challenge.
