Since Im on deferred rejudifacation for my illegal lane change ticket until June
I gotta drive real slow and carfeul anyway, I decided to do an experiment.
I drive 25 miles one way to work everyday and its 90% highway. I have been
getting 19 mpg, now 21 mpg. When on the highway I stay at 1500 rpm's
or 65mph, no WOT. Thats a 10% increase or 30 cents a gallon cheaper. :D
 
yep, i wouldn't drive a crapamatic. I still have the stock 3.27's in. I don't know how I got that fuel mileage considering I have a mac o/r h-pipe on and I'm waiting on my MIL Eliminators to show up. :shrug:


When it takes 1.5 hours to go 19 miles, you certainly would. Welcome to Chicago, home of wasted resources.

I get anywhere from 20-23 depending on how many times I have to stop on the way home.
 
it's been a few years but when i lived in Houston i would drive back home on holidays. i think it was 380 miles driveway to driveway and i'd still have a 1/4 tank, well over 400 miles a tank and close to 30mpg, 5spd on cruise at 70
