Can anyone give me an idea of how bad gas mileage tends to get at higher levels of boost? First of all what kind of mileage should an '88 740 Turbo sedan w/manual trans get in stock form? Any idea what it will go down to at 1.0 bar? I'll be transferring to another school in the spring (70 mi from my house) and I'll home every weekend for work so mileage has become sort of a big concern for me I plan to do all the usual stuff to maximize my MPG like being anal about tire pressure and such. Of course my A/C doesn't work and I won't be using power steering. If I can get creative with the belts I might be able to run one off the crank to both the water pump and alternator-of course my engine is currently in pieces so I don't even know if this is possible yet. Is it?
Thanks,
Matthew
