Re: what does everybody average on thier mpg?

Let's see...

Recently bought new tires + oil change + fresh manual fluid + rear differential fluid.

I got 450 highway miles to the tank on a 1996 5 speed 3.8L

I keep hearing our tanks have a 15.5 gallon capacity.

450/15.5 = 29.03 MPG With no leadfoot, just highway cruising.

I have to experiment further with new E3 plugs and MSD wires still waitin for the install on a stock engine with no headers yet although it has the aluminum driveshaft which helped up my MPG. ;)

Then again the summer fuel blends are MPG friendly VS winter blends are infamous for affecting MPG.

He must be running straight Trans -X to get those gas miles.

Re: what does everybody average on thier mpg?

I hear that if you put strait trans-x in the tank, it never "burns" up, but is more like synthetic oil. You just have to change it every 6000 miles. SO that's 6000 miles per tank of trans-x. In my SS I get better mileage than I did in my veesix. I get roughly 23 city and 27-28 hwy. 6 speed ls1 with small mods, slp lid, magnaflow exhaust, dynoed and tuned. But I am going to do this trans-x mod if I ever get to come home...

I get about 18mpg city and 28-30 mpg highway on my WS6 6-speed with light foot.. Heavy foot about 12mpg and 22mpg..

The 95 gets around the same for city but highway around 25ish..

Re: what does everybody average on thier mpg?

I'm thinking of converting my car into a hybrid.

I'll lpug in the AC/DC power inverter into the cigarette lighter and then put an extension cord with male plugs on both ends into the power inverter and into my house's power outlet.

Re: what does everybody average on thier mpg?

I get about 17 in the city with me beatin on it; driftin most of the turns, WOT from light to light :P. I've tried babying it and it went to a whopping 19MPG.....I'd rather beat on it :P. Highway I've gotten 28MPG, again beating on it. I'm sure I can get closer to 30 if I took it easy on her, but that's no fun :(
