RFG, longer warm up cycles, etc do the number on the ol' B21FTi....just can't wait until le soleil returns...I need it bad.

I have observed this pattern every year for the last 4 years. Mileage really slacks when cool. I postulated that I enjoy the turbo more then - but it's about the same use rate. Then when summer kicks in the Chucksta' creeps on back to 24-25 mpg.

But I'll take it. 3.91 rear and a turbo - 235,000 miles and counting...

I guess maybe a new FPR may help.....gnaw....
