Average gas mileage?

Nixon1 · 02-04-2003, 07:56 PM

Just wondering what kinda mileage all of you get. I checked mine today and got 9.5 mpg on 92 octane with the mods in my signature. Just interested in some comparing and contrasting!

25mpg highway with aod and 2.73's.

lx mike · 02-04-2003, 08:57 PM

22-24 mpg at 70-75 with 3.73's with a 5 speed.

stock 90 GT:
highway 65-75 mph in 5th gear = 26mpg
daily driving in new york city = 12-13mpg

I average about 15mpg, (mixed city and highway),
w/ the mods listed below....

Chris_H · 02-04-2003, 10:29 PM

I get about 17mpg betwen city and highway with these 4.10's since I am still "trying" them out

I was seeing 22-24mpg with my 3.55's on long trips at about 80mph....

MattwantsSpeed · 02-05-2003, 03:07 PM

26-27mpg at 70-75mph.
15mpg around city (driving hard).

Mike, you're getting 22-24mpg with the 3.73's? I've been tossing around the idea of 3.55's and 3.73's and have been leaning towards the 3.73's and that figure definately helps!

So no one can beat my 9.5 city? Damn..that can't be good!

Casper5.0 · 02-05-2003, 09:32 PM

I get about 16 around town and 25 on the highway with the ol' 3.08's and the mods listed. The 3.08's are coming out soon though.....

I've gotten 11.5mpg in a stock 90 GT, but thats in HEAVY NYC traffic and letting my car warm up for 5 minutes each time I start it up.

66StangGuy · 02-06-2003, 03:42 PM

you guys are all lucky..with the mods i have i get about 8mpg if im lucky.. and yes everything runs and is tuned correctly. i just have fun driving it and i run the rpms up to 4000 when i shift. 3 speed c4 with 3.55's 4bbl holley. had an edelbrock before and got the same gas milage. and this is 8 city and maybe 9 or 10 highway at 75. next im mod is tuning the carb

Nixon1 · 02-06-2003, 09:12 PM

Wow...nice car though.

I look at it this way...bad gas mileage is justified by speed. If you're gettin crap mileage in a Toyota..well..you just suck.

Mopar1 · 02-07-2003, 12:33 PM

I can Nixon, 18 on the highway and around 8 in the city. Got a big stick bumping the valves. I will be going with the comp xe262 in a few months. BTW, I did put that damn cam in it. lol

LethalInjection · 02-07-2003, 02:18 PM
