Gas Mileage??? Mine's better than yours!

So on the trip to Missoula and back to get Doug's STi, i made 28 mpg on the way up and 29.5 mpg on the way home. Made it from Missoula to Billings on one tank doin 80 through the passes and cruizin at 75 on the rest. Oh did i mention, i can get that mileage and still capable of 150 mph!!! HAHA N.A. FTW!

you suck i think the SS gets like 11 MPG in town and like around 16 on the interstate. but i guess it would help if i kept my foot out of it. drive it like you stole it.

I wish I could have gotten better gas mileage, boost sucks for good MPG. lol

I got I think like 24mpg? ish I wasnt really paying attention.. lol

I did pretty good on the way to and from Lewistown w/ cruise control cause it won't allow it to hit boost

I get a pretty consistant 25-27 MPG without much problem. I can even get on it every once in a while and at doesn't seem to effect overall mileage very much. Not too bad

I got between 28 and 31 the entire drive to illinois....in my V6. Let me know when you get some numbers worth bragging about

We don't need #'s we got boost!!!

I get 30-32 mpg and still run 20-24 psi. Its all in the tuning. I cruise at 15.5:1 usually. I used to idle there too but the Tomei 270's I now have to idle at 12.0:1 for a smooth idle at 900 rpm's. Too many people think you have to be right at 14.7:1 for best fuel economy at part throttle, my old setup cruised as lean as 16.0:1 and ran great.

I am rolling right about 27 the '08 and around 13 in the '01.

I just got 30 on the way back to Bozeman. Pretty happy with that!

I have the '01 idle at 13.5:1. I dont like the idle feel with less fuel. 13.5:1 is perfect.

You have me beat, I traded in my gas sipper for the Evo . I think I still have pictures on one of my old phones of the Z06 getting 29.9mpg on the highway to Sheridan. 405hp v8 cruising at 78mph @ 1900ish rpms will get some decent mpg.

Hell I think my bike only gets like mid 30s, lol, hard to be civil on it for an entire tank of gas though.

Evo is usually 23-24 on the freeway at 78mph with cruise.

In my SpecV I get an average 24 mpg in the city whether or not Im nice to it or not...
however at highway speeds depending on factors such as drag and hills I get between 28 and 34 mpg...
but the one thing I love the most is I put her in 6th and set the cruise to around 75 ~ 80 mph and
I never need to downshift no matter how big the hill is Oh yeah! Nissan FTMFW

Ya them Spec V's are pretty snappy little NA's They deff get props from me!

Yeah.. I love mine, especially considering what I came from...
I'm ashamed of it but I used to own a 03 Ford Focus... ugh...

Did you mod the focus?

Only thing I did to it was paint the vents on the dash ford blue, put ford stickers in the window cuz I got them for a xmas present... and I put Autolite Iridiums in her and also a set of FocusSport wires... after I did the research and found out how much it would take to make her faster... I traded it off one day. It was a Saturday at work when I worked at Taste of Asia, my boss Jason made me go down to nissan to look at least.... I came back 5 hours later with the SpecV... he was proud

Lol. Nice.

i never went the speed limit to find out what my gto got with the 5.7l, but i know with the cruze set a 110mph and a couple od suite cases i got 18 to 21mpg depending on where i gassed up. never shut it off in a 1100 mile trip, made it in 10 hours. (ill never do that again had to get to my sister wedding).

21 is damn good for a 5.7l. Cars sure are fantastic these days.

when i tuned it, i set up a lean cruze mode. if i would have had a 6 speed i think i would have been closer to 27mpg at that speed.

Mine's 45mpg with no added weight and at 95mph. cruising through Cali Mountain ranges.

Bringing this from the dead my soob gets right around 48.8 kpg or 30 mpg or 510 kilometers per tank

O and i forget to post this but for the ones who dont know this an easy way to figure out kph to mph is take kph/1.6=mph

so for example: 120kph/1.6= 75mph

ya im glad i knew that formula before i bought my soob there would have been alot of tickets or i would drive that thing so slow lol

I love your KPH gauges JC

I'm an idiot lol Here i will correct my self km/h lol

I wasn't being technical, I was just poking fun at the fact that you have to do math every time you drive, it would make my head hurt! LOL!! But km/h is much better

The Chevelle with 12.5:1 comp, 4000 stall, 4.88:1 gears got 18mpg and still went 10.86. Of course long drives (120 miles or so) makes your ass numb.

The 06 wagon gets 26 city/ 32 hwy. It helps to have the 3.70 final drive though.

well i just filled up the other day and got about 16mpg. gonna have to get rid of the lead foot i have sometimes! gonna go through this next tank without getting on it and see what i get.

My 99 dodge gets right at 12 miles to the gallon and my 07 chevy gets 9.5 where ever i go up hills down hills pulling shit i hat it cant wait to get my car done haha

I haven't put gas in my car for over two years...... that's good gas milage.


Hmmmm..... It hasn't moved for about that long too...... I wonder is there is any coralation?

YEAH I GET AT THE MOST 15MPGS. ON THE HIGHWAY ITS PROBABLY ABOUT THE SAME. I CANT STOP MYSELF FROM CRUISIN AT 120+, THOUGH THE LAST TIME I WENT TO BOZMEN I RODE THE FUCK OUT OF DUSTIN'S ASS IM TALKIN LIKE 5 TO 8FT BEHIND HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND I USED A LITTLE MORE THEN 1/8 OF A TANK.

Caps lock necessary?

YES IT IS!!! WHY DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT CAPS LOCK.........

BECUASE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING!!!!!!!!

CAPS LOCK FROM NOW ON THEN!!!

I KNOW RIGHT CAUSE ITS SO ANOYING AND IS WAY HARDER TO READ CAPS LETTERING RIGHT.........

Not to revive an old thread but I have to say my car has been getting excellent gas mileage... been sitting on half a tank now since the super bowl... crazy what kinda mileage you get when it doesn't move lol

Agreed, I love when my car stays at 3/4 of a tank for a month. I love you college.

My fuel mileage is nothing to brag about something like 12 in town or something. whos cares its only fuel right????

my sweet jacked up truck sucked fossil fuels outta the ground... my new little s-10 gets 20 in town rodding the dog fuck outta it

I used to get a consistent 39-39.5 in the vtec-e civ before the swap. I dont think Ive even put a whole tank of gas through it since the swap, I highly doubt its anywhere near that good now with the .5l more displacement and 11:1 pistons.

higher compression wil actually yeild better milage. but most people can keep ther foot out of it so it does no good.

that second sentence was custom built for me.

me too for sure. its getting harder and harder to be a good boy everyday with all the faggs in riced out shitboxes doing ricer flybys in rush hour traffic.....

Hey don't be so meaany to Jap Crap....

ok my 1ton deisel truck gets better mileage bout 16-19 on averaGE, my stock 5.0 does 23-25 on the interstate .
i dotn bother with the ghost . i mean there aint no point lol hit gas hit the nos and im happy
