So that (and the supercharger) is why I have only gotten about 380 max to the tank. I never realized that a few blips of the throttle when downshifting can chew up so much gas.
I am going to have to try that to see if I can save some gas. It's going to be hard to resist the urge to use all three pedals at the same time when braking into a corner. I get as much fun out of braking into a corner with heal-toe downshifting as I do accelerating out of a corner.
