So I did a little road trip recently and made a video out of it:

The video is long, but what will probably be most interesting to this forum is that I used the opportunity to calculate the MPG of my mildly modded 4AGE:
Here's what I have on the engine:
Cams: Catcams 8.0 lift, 244 duration
Smallport pistons and 10.4 compression
Cam pulleys: techno toy tuning
Valve springs: HKS
Flywheel: oem blacktop
Clutch: Aisin
All new gaskets: OEM
All new oem conrod and crank bearings
Entire rotating assembly balanced
Oil: 10w 40
Engine has done 700 km so far
Timing set to to 10 btdc
The driving was mixed, mostly open road, 20% of city driving, a bit of idling, driving was mildly spirited, nothing too aggressive.
My fuel consumption was: 7.76 liters per 100km which equals to 36.6 MPG.
So what do you guys think? Good, bad, average? I was actually pleased with it. Considering its old engine tech and how fun the engine is its pretty nice. My 2007 1.6 16v suzuki does around 6l on the open road.
