67 Pontiac Bonneville Fuel Economy
Hello everyone. I'm trying to get the fuel economy on the 67 Pontiac Bonneville. Specs are 6.6L 4BL OHV 8cyl 400 engine. I've phoned the dealership and no one has come up with the mileage of a full tank of gas. This would be helpful because I need to figure shipping cost vs driving. Thanks in advance.

Re: 67 Pontiac Bonneville Fuel Economy
In new condition at 60 mph the best would be about 15 mpg, gotta use high test also..

Re: 67 Pontiac Bonneville Fuel Economy
By far it's not new. Is that really all the mpg it will offer? Can I do anything to improve the 15 mpg besides an expensive tune up? What do u mean about high test?

Re: 67 Pontiac Bonneville Fuel Economy
I know its been a couple years since this thread was started but I still have a some questions concerning the fuel economy.
I've had an electronic ignition installed with a complete tune up and a new Edelbrock carb; would these upgrades improve the fuel economy? I'm asking because since the new upgrades and some much needed attention to the engine, it appears that its running a whole lot better than it ever has since I've owned it. Before, I could not drive at least 100 miles on a full tank, which maybe last about a couple days. Now its nearly an entire week of driving before refueling. Some info on the electronic ignition would be helpful. Also, what is the fuel capacity or gas tank size for my vehicle? I've checked Google and nothing. AutoZone is showing a 22 gallon tank; is that correct? Thanks |

Re: 67 Pontiac Bonneville Fuel Economy
@maxwedge
The current mileage is 58800. I was asking for general info on the electronic ignition. For example: What's its purpose? Does it improve fuel economy? Was it smart to have installed to my engine? I'm curious because if its unnecessary then I'll know that it was money wasted and that the tech lied to me. Thanks |
