Question on Sprint Booster MPG

I have acquired a manual Sprint Booster. Installation is no problem. There is one issue I have not seen discussed. Have you noticed any difference in MPG?

I've not noticed any change to my gas consumption, though I am fairly "gentle" on my take-offs. Usually, when I'm tempted to test it out, I can't help but think I'm stucking down a liberal dose of fuel.

I have the autostick version...like it.

Your mpg will drop, but only because you're flooring it more.
It does not affect the mpg consumption - you do.

My mpg (miles per gallon) didn't change, but my MPG (miles per grin) sure did !!!!

Re: Question on Sprint Booster MPG

Definitely a drop in MPG for me ! I was averaging around 25, now somewhere nearer to 22. But with the difference the SB makes in throttle responce, it's hard to feather the throttle back without wanting to feel that " shot out of a cannon " effect !
