Let's play MPG game

[gofaster]

Ok the title is stupid but I do have more mileage related news. Drove From my house to Freeport, Illinois, and some city driving in between and here's the tally. Did 374.6 miles and used 10.399 gallons, or 36.02 mpg, or pretty damn good in my book.

Oh yeah is there anyone here with a gold CB7 that got pulled over today around springfield? I think it was a 90-91

[sirs1ayer]

nice gas mileage.

standard or auto?

[gofaster]

5spd manual, the only way to fly

[CustomLowz]

With all highway driving, i can get a hair over 400 miles, with a good mix of city and highway about 375

[accordaffair]

Best I've done was 410 on 15 gallons, that was almost exactly half highway and half city.

[fatboy1185]

wow, thats really good, i get about 27mpg

[cp[mike]]

i get 23-24... and thats burning up expensive 93 octane... i wish gas was cheaper again.

[2.2litrebeater]

i get 24 on a good day, my car sucks.

[jova1993cb]

I figure 28mpg in town. Prolly 32-35 hwy.

[mondojackal]

28 in town?? dang..you people sure dont drive like i do. i get like 22 in town, and like 34 on the highway.

[jova1993cb]

Here lately I have been leadfooting it so, prolly about where u r at.

28 in town?? dang..you people sure dont drive like i do. i get like 22 in town, and like 34 on the highway.

I have to short shift like crazy to get that, though I do that alot anyways so its not hard for me

[MadSpleen85]

I usually get right around 29mpg in the city. Prolly right around 33-37 hwy. depending on if I have to keep slowing down to pass people. BTW thats wit the 89 Octane. Too expensive and not enough mods to need the higher Octane. Later

200-250 miles out of a tank of gas (16-18MPG) mostly city driving with alot of stop lights and a 30-45 mph speed limit on the roads I drive means as soon as I get to the cruising speed I have to stop for another friggin' light
On highway trips I've done in the past I got about ~350 miles out of a tank of gas.

I'm tring a new "drive like a grandma" style of low RPM's and a very light foot on the throttle to se how much better I can get with the mpg. I just started on the current tank so I'm not quite sure how it'll go untill that gas light comes on. Update to come soon......

my roomie told me he can get 500 on a hiway run. but he have not proved it to me yet lol.

I get just over 400 with mixed city and hiway drivin. occacional redlining and hard driving.

once i got like 430 mpg when i drove like my grandma and shift at 2k and stayed at 55 or under.

did some research, a guy in NY drove his ford tarus at 45 miles on one tank of gas and got like 650 miles!.

and another thing to think, how do you guys drive? lets say for a week ur lead footing it driving it hard and everything, then the next tank ful u drive like an old granny. u'd b suprised that u'd have worse gas milage than the next guy who granny drive his car ALL the time.

it have somethig to do the way your car computer do the fuel mixture, if u granny drive it all the time the fuel mixture are set more lean at lower rpms so u have less power. but a week of hard driving u'd get slightly better quarter mile times than that granny driven car.

anyone notice the difference?
