I managed a whole 218 miles from a full tank to about 1/4 of a mile after the orange light came on.
Now that's boost!

Amazing. Launching at 3k feels like pure joy. Engine is smooth, purrs like a big kitty.
Is it bad to be turned on by your cars idle?

My car used 10 pounds of fuel to manage 6 runs at the NG last year. Do the math on that one.

which is a whole lotta gas for the amount of time the car ran (figure 1/4 mile blast, cruise at about 10mph back to the pits, then same into the lanes, quick jab to clean the tires, then idling at the lights). A little over 3mpg?

So the car gets bad gas mileage when you race it...

Which is fun.
I never asked if there was an issue with it. Anyone that is enjoying their car the was it should be will never see decent mileage. Viva la Global Warming!

I wasn't complaining, I was quite entertained about it. If I was worried about MPG, I'd drive something else.
