What is everyone's mpg
 
i was just wondering what everyone is getting. i get pretty good highway miles but very crappy city.

stroked383ta May 13, 2004 01:01 AM

im getting about 8.5 mpg. and if im lucky, ill get 10. but i think i have an exhaust leak.

ARTIC_Z May 13, 2004 01:03 AM

well u also have a bigger engine and a few more mods than me. my old car was a 92 firebird 305 tbi and it got 10 city. i figured this would get better but i dont think it is.

21-22mpg highway/city mix and 16-17 racing/all city. This is with heads/small cam/3.73's/3000 stall/etc. Car runs 11.84 all motor.

Well with headers, catback 'n cai:
between 23-27 mpg highway
and between 15.5-18 city
(M6)
Putting the engine together now with some heads 'n cam so I'll have to wait and see how it affects the mpg...

My personal best is 31 mpg with a cc305. Cruise locked a 65 and no stopping. Thats in a M6. Cutout also helped a bit too.

I get between 14-15 mpg in the city. Even with gas prices the way they are... it's still worth every penny.

What´s the gas price over there...I guess you can't top ours in my tax lovin' country ... ~$5.10 for a gallon :cry:

Holy smokes, it's $76 bucks to fill up your tank in Sweden? Makes me feel better about spending $30 to fill mine over here. :eek:

I just checked mine today and I'm getting 15 MPG mixed city and highway (mostly city lately). It should pick up when I get around to doing the final tune. Currently the car has a "safe" blower tune in it from the initial start up with the new cam and heads. :)

Yea i just got back from the UK. Gas prices there are 78p/L so .78*3.8*1.8=~$5.33

Ouch. Im glad we like our cheap gas here in TX. $1.85 for 93 baby. I never thought i would be excited when i found a station for $1.75. I remember just 4 years ago, gas was under $.90/ gallon. This is getting rediculious. F*CK OPEC!!!

And the camel they rode in on. :D

13.2 last tank:D But i take short trips, have a slowly dying opti, a bad plug wire, and twitch in my foot when i see slow drivers...

Just filled up yesterday, and my milage was 22 mpg.(273 miles with a 12.5 gal fillup) That's with my mods in my sig. That was a mix of 65% Highway, 35% City.

All city gets me close to 17 mpg.

It's nice to have more 30 more HP than stock, and get the same gas milage that I was stock. What makes it even sweeter is that I also added 275/40-17's when I did my headers/exhaust and my milage didn't go down at all.

I will admit that I babied this tank a little because I was trying to check my milage after the headers.

Over the life of my car, all types of driving included, I average 20.5 mpg.

City: 15-17
Hwy: 20-24

My best ever is 28, and that's no stopping and cruise set on 79MPH. (with an M6)

iNF3RNo May 13, 2004 10:00 AM

Mostly highway, and lots of getting on it: 16.5-18mpg

Mostly highway and the closest I've gotten to "non-enthusiastic" driving is just over 20.
