Re: gas mileage?

one time and one time only i got 31 mpg. this was mostly interstate driving around 80-85 mph in a 6 speed. i was going from denver to kc and was on the interstate the whole time so there was no stopping unless i needed gas.

Re: gas mileage?

on the open freeway with the cruise set at 83mph my formula will get 27-29

Never bothered to check in town driving, it can vary a lot depending on the foot

Re: gas mileage?

I average 16-17 mpg mostly city driving, but every now and then i'm on the highway. Overall its not that bad considering what some people get. I've found that some gas stations give me better gas milage. I like Exxon as opposed to a cheaper Wawa or East Coast that are around my area.

Re: gas mileage?

I get 11 mpg......that sucks. I'm pretty sure my o2s are shot, I'm rebuilding a motor now and the headers are getting new o2 sensors......I can't wait. (but with all the other stuff i'm doing to the motor I'll probably still be around 11 mpg I hope)

Re: gas mileage?

my o2's are going bad so i know that if i would to replace them i would get better. but i plan on getting headers sometime this year so since i hardly drive the car i figured i would just wait.

i have also noticed that different stations give me better gas mileage. i never buy from conveince store places ( at least i try not to) but a couple times that i had to i noticed a drop in mpg.
