whats your mpg?

[TransAm87]

just curious, because i just bought my '95 TA two weeks ago and I've noticed that its gettin only 12 miles per gallon, about 4 or 5 less than my '87 (the '87 was a 5.0L though) anyway just wondering what everyone else gets, i'm not complaining though cause the bad mileage is definitly worth the fun i get out of this car

[Mr. Luos]

I will let you know soon.
Thinking not so good.

[CreepingDeath94]

My '94 got close to 20 pretty consistently on average. If youre only driving it in the city and youre driving it hard, then 15 is probably more likely. Also, I would check to see if someone did the little resistance plug in in the Air Temp. sensor off the intake boot. If they put that chip in there it basically tells the computer that its -40 degrees all the time thus running the car rich...very rich.

[TransAm87]

yeah well it is my daily driver, to school, to work, so the stop and go traffic really kills it but I'll check for that resistance plug..

[CreepingDeath94]

You'd smell it too, if it smells real rich at tailpipe...

[Fuzzy_C]

i'd say on average about 8 city, about 25 highway, of course if i drive like a total idiot i can bump it down to around 3 or 4 city, i once had $20 worth of gas last me 4 miles lol

[Mr. Luos]

Best I could tell today...about 13 MPG. Most driving done with the RPM's bouncing around from 2500-4000 though.
My best guess once the tune is dialed in and the motor doesn't need to be broke in anymore...
16 MPG around town, 22 highway.

[TransAm87]

really? see now that worries me, cause if yours is all modified and your still getiing 15 or more than theres gotta be somethin wrong with mine if it's geting 12..

[CreepingDeath94]

I don't think 12 is right either. You should be around 18-20 average. Even if youre driving it hard it should be better than 12...

[Mr. Luos]

Not really.
The LSx series were more efficient.

Is your car an auto??

[TransAm87]

yes its an automatic..

[Mr. Luos]

That probably explains it.
They tend to be worse on gas.

[79Bandit]

i get about 9 mpg highway and 6 in the city....now in my civic i get 36mpg easily

[TransAm87]

lol, civics, yeah well mine is my daily driver, but talk about odd now after checking before my next fill up im getting about 14, oh well i figure its probably the auto and how i'm drivin it around town..

[83T/A98Blazer]

My 83 gets around 20 on the highway if I am just cruising, probably 12-14 city. Just a little demo on what speed does to MPG. I traveled from Washington D.C. to Michigan in 10 hours, took me 2 tanks of gas. I made it in 8 hours one trip and it took me 3 tanks of gas! And one ticket, damn Ohio!!!
