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.
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.

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

Explorer - 18 mpg mixed
Camaro - 19-20 mixed

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

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

[trashman01]

my focus gets bout 28-30 depending, pure highway ill see 34mpg
my K10 gets bout 6-9 around town(damn hills, 35s, 305 4bbl haha) but if i hit the highway ill get bout 18-20.
my bros 04 GC gets bout 20 on the highway at 80mph
moms 01 Explorer Sport gets 17-18 city
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).

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?

[maroman88]

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

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