Gas Mileage? - Page 4 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

venetrex · 05-17-2008, 08:05 PM

I used to get 279 miles to the tank, after installing cam gears I am up to 300 to the tank, dos everyone have this improvement. I know my mileage stiull sucks but I probably have 400+ awhp. Gotta dyno soon.

Chester22 · 05-17-2008, 08:12 PM

25 mpg, DOHC ATX, and I never drive it lightly, and mostly city

Stealthee · 05-17-2008, 08:58 PM

This last tank I got 23mpg. There was abouslutely no highway driving.

The roads i drive on people may consider "country" roads. They are not wide open, and they are not city roads.

Usually 20-24 MPG as long as I'm not doing a lot of racing.....15g 550'd VR4.

Driftersdr · 05-18-2008, 12:04 AM

20 city 24mix ??highway I ran injector cleaning and gained 4mpg from previous measurements.

I would like to do a whole tank highway, I was at 160miles and still had 3/4 left, but then I got into Orlando and got back into stop/go which sucks.

Does anybody notice that the needle seems to decline faster the further along the guage it gets to E?

I got 24 MPG on my brothers 91 5-speed R/T (loaner car since my last one was stolen, first fill up I checked so far) with ~70/30 city/highway. Full exhaust, no cats, intake, just ran seafoam and performed regular maintenance to it.

In the 95 VR4 6-Speed I usually get ~16 MPG, but that's almost 100% city and not driving it easy.
I only drive the VR4 once or twice a week tops, so a fill up lasts me months.

wow! So if you fill up your 19.8 gallon tank you can go roughly 750miles on a tank of gas? I bet you could get almost 800 miles to the tank with an manual.

*EDIT*: owned! ah well, I get about 45mpg on my VW TDI. This is mostly city driving too.

In my 91 3000GT SL, I get about 21-24 mpg. and thats about half highway, half town.

gs1000kat · 05-29-2008, 07:39 AM

I get 18-20 when I run the piss out of it. The last tank I drove very easy and almost all highway and got 24. That is the highest I have ever seen out of it, but it is also the easiest I have ever driven it. I have resorted to coasting down hills, as long as it has a steep enough grade to keep me around the speed limit, coasting to stops and shutting my car off when idling. I've decided I didn't want to give my money to the oil companies anymore.
