TURBO -

I'm getting 25-27mpg on shell lately - dohc

Texan94SL · 05-08-2008, 07:09 PM

DOHC 5 speed

around 22-24 now that the a/c is running quite a bit.

around 26 in the winter

OR

about 400 miles a tank

450 on a tank is the best I've done

i averaged between 17 and 19 in the 99, mostly low speed stop/go cruising and some backroad fun.

27-28 with mix of city/highway in a 95 SL, DOHC auto. Last tank was 467 miles at fillup. 187,000 miles. Due for a rebuiild soon.

Guessing 20ish on a SOHC auto. I went 396 miles on a full tank before the light came up. Probably could've done 400 plus a few more miles but I'm afraid of the car dying on the middle of the road. I drive mostly on the highway due to school.

highway and sohc and 20ish? u should be getting above that hmm, clean airfilter? clean oil? proper tire pressure?

I Dunno, maybe it is just me but that seems oddly low.

1320VR4 · 05-08-2008, 07:55 PM

i think its auto vs manual

my friend and I both drive 93 stealths, he has atx and gets 19mpg and I drive manual and not very conservitive and get 25 - 27mpg

26ish hwy 24ish city. auto

J-Groove · 05-08-2008, 08:06 PM

22-24 in rush hour stop and go, I haven't tested out highway with the taller 5th gear yet. I'm hoping for over 30.

Keeping it out of boost and in low RPMs in traffic FTW.
