gas mileage with Borla
Not sure if I am just hitting the go pedal more often with Borla but it seems that my gas mileage has dropped 10-15%. Anyone else notice a difference? I think low speed driveability has changed with Borla and it seems the lower restrictive exhaust means the car requires more fuel in city stop/go traffic. The exhaust also causes higher fuel consumption because you are wind out the motor just to hear the downshift rev matching sounds... Any comments, experiences?

I don't remember any degradation of gas mileage with the Borla when installed?? I still average 19-21 mpg all the way round with my set-up.

I haven't noticed any dips, if anything it should improve as long as you aren't on the go pedal all the time. In normal commuting I avg about 20-21, make it to 300 miles or so before the gas light comes on. My trip this weekend around 5 hours round trip with 2 passengers and thru mountains and with AC on I avg'ed 24.5 and got ~350 miles before light came on. Lots of traffic in there also. My first couple weeks with bola i certainly kept it in sport mode a lot more to avoid the drone and hear it bark, but now it's just every once in a while.
