DogLog Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Same trip/rout with the newly acquired 92 loyal, 26 mile to the gallon. Ohh yah!!! Best mile to the gallon vehicle I have. Just had to rub it in though I would trade you a couple of miles to the gallon for your cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derburger Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Going 70+ mph highway my ea82t MPFI turbo XT with a 5 speed manual got 25mpg. That's the only reading I have from it, since it broke down at school, lol. It should be better with the new ignition parts I put in. I expected the car to get 30+ mpg with the light weight, aerodynamics, and 5 speed. I'll have to take many more mileage readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you drive without boosting it EVER. 25 is honestly about the best you'll get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4_Welder Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow, I got ~22 on the last road trip with the turbowagon. Had my wife, kid, and three large dogs, doing 75-80. I don't think I could maintain anything over about 60 without boost. Auto, AWD, and subpar cruise. I think there's a bad check valve or a leak in the vacuum reservoir somewhere.
