opus Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 287 miles today, all through the mountains. 255K miles on a '86 GL wagon, 4wd, 5 spd, carbed [sorry GD]. 107 degrees out with 3% humidity. I drove it like it was 107 too. 65mph was pretty much max. That would be max on these roads on a cool day as well though. 30MPG!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Turbo's are not known for their mileage. I get about 19 in town on my SS. About 25 on the freeway. Even the brand new STi's are rated at 17 in the city GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Keeping your foot out if is what saves gas :-p Yeah - on a big turbo (for the engine size) you can do that. With the VF11 on the 22T it spools if a fly lands on your foot. Hell the thing will spool all by itself when the cruise control starts pulling a hill GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
