Gas Mileage? - Page 3 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

neverenoughhp · 05-09-2008, 08:55 AM

Turbo, 5 spd, 375 whp, 26mpg hw at 75mph, guessing 15 city. Of course these numbers go to shit if I do anything more than baby it. I need to put the front aero cover back on to help. I removed the motor and arms for weight reductions but still need the cover for aero. I am also going to do something in the rear; either holes in the side of the bumber cover or fab a cover...

I get 18 city and 20 highway. And thats driving conservatively. How are you guys, and girls, with TTs getting 25 - 30? Something must be wrong with my car.

I get an average of 24 in the TT combined city/highway.

That's if I keep my foot out of it.

19 in town daily driving. Up to 28 on the highway with the fuel leaned out and no AC running.

I can get between 18-20 city driving, since thats where I use it the most. Mainly cause my cluth is slipping im getting that mpg lol! But yeah 25mpg will be nice once I get my car in a very healthy condition! I currently filled my tank to full, I got about 105 or so miles for that first 1/4 so im guessing I should be able to get 400-430 for the full tank.

And I don't baby my pedal, I usually shift at about 3k-4.5k RPM, going 40-60mph in the city FTW! lol!

I'm getting great mileage because I'm in 5th at speeds of 40 the car is barley over idle at that point.

Helps out a lot. I just baby her and drive for good mileage when in traffic, there is no need to waste gas when you can't have fun.
