What is your aveage MPG

[deadtrend1]

Posted on NE3G so I figure I would ask everyone here. With the rising fuel costs is just doesn't seem like it would pay to get rid of my Saturn.

For me, rough average on them would be:

Saturn: 32mpg mixed
Silverado (4.8 Vortec): 16mpg-18mpg
LS1: 20mph-21mph
LT1: Odometer doesnt work so I don't know
L98: Horrible since the tq converter wasn't locking up when it was on the road. :rofl:
Bike (1632cc Victory): 42mpg-44mpg

Is it bad when I use the RPO code for the motor to describe what Trans AM I'm talking about. :lol:

Yes, it means you need to give the SOM to me.

Camaro - 19-20 mixed

[BonzoHansen]

wow that seems real low for a honda?

I gotta figure mine out next time i fill up. 3.4l maro ~ 20mpg city

[79CamaroDiva]

jeep - between 16-20 depending on how much highway
ls1 - 19-20 around town, significantly higher all highway
79 - 10-12.. therefore, it sits.

I can't justify buying a new car that gets higher mpg though when it will cost say $12k for a nice used car, how long will it take for me to spend $12k EXTRA in gas for it to make up for itself? A very long time.

[bad64chevelle]

Ram - 11 - no matter what: Normal, towing, hauling, city, highway...its 11.
Chevelle - 10 -

This summer is gonna get interesting.

[NumberTwo]

My 99 Exp Sport gets 16 city, 20 if Im on a long trip (4.0L SOHC)
My 92 Z gets 17 around town, 25 on long trips.

[BigAls87Z28]

Caprice is up to just under 17 with mixed. Highway @ 80mph was 19mpg
72 gets anywhere from 17-20 depending on driving.
Maxx was 24 mixed, 33 highway.

[Mensaf]

My Trans Am gets about 23mpg on average, mixed city and highway. Wonder if the headers/exhaust work helped with that.

[NJ Torque]

GTP gets about 17 MPG... pullied and chiped...

GN gets about 12 with alot of beating on it...

SS Impala about 15

SS Camaro about same as imp.

[Fast92RS]

04 avalanche 5.3 12 - 14mpg average

[jin1481]

94 Z28 gets around 17 mixed, 15 on my last fill up
91 RS got 25+ when i brought it up from NC

[heavy_chevy29]

dads toyota Solara(24 valve VVT-i V6, 5spd) gets bout 32 mixed
sisters 89 fireturd gets 18 haha

[ShitOnWheels]

Elantra - 28 - 32mpg, depending on how much traffic I have to sit in to get to class and whether I do 70 or 80 on the highway. Mostly highway driving, very little stop and go. And that's with 3 exhaust leaks and a cracked manifold.

[Tru2Chevy]

My Jeep (4.0L I6, A4, 31s, 4.10s) averages 16-17 as long as I drive it sanely. If I drive like my old crazy self then it gets 13-14. That's mostly highway (~18 mile commute to work).

My wife's '04 Grand Cherokee (4.7L v8, A5, 29s, 3.73s) averages 14.5 (according to the on board computer). She has a similar commute, but hers is during rush hour (she works 8am-4pm, I work 4pm-12am).

[bubba428]

8 city
25 highway

don't ask me how that works, I have no freaking idea.
Must be a carb thing I guess, probably wacky tune knowing me.

[Tru2Chevy]

Bubba - Is it a mechanical secondary?

- Justin

[Blacdout96]

Ranger 18-20
Camaro 23- 25

[heavy_chevy29]

5-7 in the maro? How often does that thing see street time?

not once this year so far. it probably wont see to much street use this year. maybe once or twice a month. now that i have the bike i probably wont even touch the camaro

[maroman88]

95 Z28, about 12mpg around here, just got a personal best of 21mpg on the last tank including a trip to the beach yesterday and e-town today

[qwikz28]

2002 Olds Intrigue: 21-22 mixed mostly local driving
93 Chevy 4.3L 4x4: ~15 mpg
77 Camaro Z28: ~12-14 mpg <-- gotta work on that
06 Honda Pilot: ~16mpg

my saturn has the same drivetrain and i get between 18-24 depending on how i drive and the driving style. 18 being alot of city with a lead foot. 21 being mixed and 24 being all highway. usually 20-21

camaro got about 16-22 pre-cam. usually about 17-18 cause its much harder to keep my foot off the go pedal on that car. now i can only assume its much less :)

[bubba428]

Bubba - Is it a mechanical secondary?

- Justin

I think its vacuum, its a street avenger

[Tru2Chevy]

I think its vacuum, its a street avenger

Yea, street avenger = vacuum. and that blows my theory out of the water. Did you screw with the jets at all?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

All the more reason for me to make sure it's used enough this year :lol:

[Rich189]

I have a heavy foot sooo...

Subaru- 23-27 mixed but mostly local

Ls1- 18-20 mixed but mostly local

L98 not sure yet as its not on the road

[bubba428]

[edpontiac91]

My 1995 Grand Am GT with the 3100 V/6 gets 29.2 mpg @ 65 mph(with the cruise set)on my Route 18 trip to Ocean everyday. My son gets 32 mpg with his 2001 NEON on his trip to Tinton Falls on the Parkway @ 65 mph, and my last trip to ATCO Pontiac Fall Nationals I got 24mpg @ 65 mph with the 1991 Formula. What I cant understand is that with the HUGE PRICE increases almost everyday for gasoline, is why if I'am doing 65 on the Parkway or Route 18, I still get passed like I'am standing still. Does anyone out there give a rats a s s about what it costs for fuel, and how much LESS gas mileage you get by going 10 to 20 miles more over the speed limit costs you! :scratch:

[Knipps]

people aren't letting gas prices affect their daily routine.. that's like saying by working closer to home with the same pay you could save a ton of money each year.

btw you can say ass.

[enRo]

it feels like i get like 10 mpg...

But...

A V10 ford cage-body i drive at work has a MPG-estimate thing installed, and it gets 6.2 MPG... ive been tromping on it alot to try and crack 5's :rofl:

Yesterday i improved my Denalis gas mileage by 30%... to about 20mpg. Drafting on the highway does work, haha. what usually took me a full tank only was 3/4 last night while following 2-4 car lengths behind my friends '01 explorer sport.

[Iroc-z86]

Jeep (I6 5spd 3.08s 31in tires) 16-18 no matter what

Camaro- with the 350 was about 14 with 305 dont know yet

School beater 94 pontiac grand am 26-27 highway, all i do is drive it on the highway. not bad for an old beat up car with 120k and an auto v6.

[WildBillyT]

GTP gets 22 up and down Rt 202.

[12secondv6]

t/a - 20-24 mpg

[maroman88]

t/a - 20-24 mpg

how the hell do u get that?? lol ive been trying so hard but im all local

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

T/A- 24ish mpg.....30ish hw
Honda - 32ish around town....40+ hw

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

how the hell do u get that?? lol ive been trying so hard but im all local

therein lies the issue. Add a bit of 45-50 mph cruising and it goes way up, dont even need highway.
