Default APR Stage III(+) owners: What kind of gas mileage do you get?

Does it drop drastically with the bigger turbo setup and injectors? TIA
PES T28 owners, enlighten me as well. =)

Default to be honest, I spend no more on gas now than when I had a chip

except for those weekends when I feel like putting in 100 octane. That **** is like heroin.

Default overall, same as chipped K03...

but if you spend a lot of time on the throttle, it will show up on your bill...

If I do a LOT of heavy throttle action, I'll get about 1mpg less on a tank than usual.

For reference, on my 1.8TQMS, I got 19-20mpg chipped K03, and same now with stage 3. (I either am in stop & go traffic, or I'm driving 80-90mph).

If I drive 65mph (like if it's raining hard) for long periods, I'll get 24-25mpg.

Default Oh wow...29mpg on a light foot on the throttle, right?

I'm kinda surprised with the bigger injectors and turbo, that your gas mileage would drop.
