Mpg
What are you guys getting for mpgs I did the math the other day and am not very impressed at all... I got 324 miles out of just under 18 gallons?? I thought a 6cyl would get better and especially since it's turbo and Probly under 300lbs
|
I bet it weighs more than 300lbs.
18mpg isn't horrible if you're having a hard time keeping your right foot out of it. Which, judging by your other posts, is true. Amazing that you found a 6 year old thread about street racing, but couldn't find any of the half dozen or so recent MPG related threads. |
MPG depends on many factors:
-Are your tires at the proper pressure? -Is the oil clean? -Are you driving conservatively or aggressively? -Has the motor received a tune up recently? (worn plugs, wires, cap/rotor, dirty air filter, dirty oil... all affect performance & mpg). Why do you think that a turbo model will get BETTER mpgs? |
27 mpg
Mine is an 84 non turbo, last time I took it on a long trip I got 27.8 mpg, around town, when I'm having fun it drops to about 24, I'm very happy with my mpg, and a 19 gallon tank, and I rarely get below 1/4 tank, but when I do I love the 2nd gas gauge that covers the last 1/4 tank :) and like NismoPick mention, a properly tuned and maintained car does much better.

Sisters 89 turbo auto gets 26mpg around town and about 29 on the freeway.

Lol meant 3000lbs of course... And that was a mix of city and highway driving. And also I actually baby my cars until I feel the need to go fast so I wasn't driving it like I stole it or nothing. I figured it should have been better which it seems you guys are getting better than me

I can max the speedo on my 300 pretty quick or at least til speed governor hits. But my camaro is stupid like I can honestly hit 100 mph in less than 3 blocks and burn the tires through every gear without trying. Not to mention it can hit 40mph just crossing a street.... I like my 300 but I would not recommend trying to race a muscle car in a strait line unless you have alot of stuff done to it
