MPG's

Driving too school one time which is 240miles i averaged 27mpg with the stock gears and doing around 75 and dropping it back a gear or two and punching it every now and then. But that was with the diablo tune the stock tune i could only get around 24 at best.
 
I've gotten 29.5mpg this summer once, it was all highway driving though (with the mods I have now). I was shocked... :nice:

Usually get 25 mpg and i don't drive to save gas.
Nor do I shift at 2000rpm like a lot of people seem to do on this site...usually 3000.
 
ive been using 92/93 in my car ever since ive had it. tho the manual says 87 ive been "treating" it to the higher octane. i know that if i downgrade my car will actually run better however i dont wanna find out if it knocks since i got ~86k miles

anyone use 87 octane with that high of mileage?
 
i get 16 with almost all city however get 23 with a mix of highway and city when i first got the car. Don't know if pipe helped the gas milage, however i would like to think it did when i keep my foot out of it.

Wow, even with the mods listed? Thats awesome, I thought the big tires and gears would kill it.

Yea i don't know. :shrug: My mpg didn't really change much as I've added the mods...expecting it would go down. I'm not complaining :)

I probably do normally get around 24mpg.

Yeah, 100k and I run 87. Started pinging on one tank under load but I think it was bad gas as it has since stopped.

Seafoam it, that may clean some carbon buildup out and let you run 87 without the pinging if it has buildup in it.

ill fill it up with 87 next when it gets to half...doin a 93/87 mix should be better than straight 87 lol
