My 87 GT Speed Density Auto, all stock gets around 20mpg daily...highway...65-80 mph.

must have 273 rear...at 75 mph i'm at about 2700 rpm's...

sounds more like 3.73's

At 2.73 I think you would turn a lot lower than that

so mix of mostly city and some hwy I got 16-17 miles per gallon. Did some romping etc so i had a little fun. so i imagine for strictly hwy would be low 20's

stykthyn · Oct 14, 2013

Our combos are pretty similar. I would expect all things being equal we will get the same mileage.

back and forth to work (about 20 miles mostly highway) i average 18-19, both car and truck.....but since the truck takes 87 and the car needs 93.....

Grabbin' Asphalt · Oct 15, 2013

I just dropped from 93 to 89 in this cooler weather, car seems to have responded fine so far.

Yeah pretty similar for sure, with more romping and such it would definitely be around 14-15mpg like you stated earlier.

I know this is kind of like asking how much you bench but out of curiosity what king of mileage are you knocking down? I'm getting 14-15 in town and my only real hwy trip was 22-3 mpg.

Was able to retest this week for hwy miles with easy shifting and very minimal horse play, I got 22mpg. That was keeping my tach at 2100rpms mostly.

18.5 MPG avg... mostly HWY. I got around 20.5 on a recent road trip. It did a lot better before I put the Vortech on.
