Syonyk Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 ~27mpg highway, 70-75mph, new O2 sensor (took it up from 23), Blaster coil, and enough exhaust leaks that I may as well have a straight pipe from the cat. -=Russ=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've never gotten over 25 mpg in my car.. Contributing factors are: my 100 lb gas pedal foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85Sub4WD Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I've never gotten over 25 mpg in my car.. Contributing factors are: my 100 lb gas pedal foot. I get slightly better gas mileage, around 25-28mpg - I have the same kind of lead foot - but I live in a warmer (but hilly) environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkspear Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I get 24-27 in my RX with an external vent bypass valve that leaks on the freeway. I also have the leadfoot disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 That's pretty good fuel economy for making the trip that fast. In my lifted wagon I averaged around 23 mpg and made it in 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 when I had my '93 Loyale, I was getting 21 around town and 26.5 highway. in my GL, I'm getting 23 around town and 30 on the highway. maybe paying for middle grade gas isn't so bad after all, lol.

shortysayhi Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Half of my drive is down hill normally (8500 ft to around 5280) so save a lot of gas there but I've got my car set up where I can be doing high speeds 55+ (even up hill) maintains same speed, with out the turbo going. And around 430 miles per tank but I always make it so I put 12 gallons in. And it should go up when I put the front air dam on to get more downforce.
