are you guys driving shifting below 4,000rpms daily driving??? that's what i'm talking about.

I guess going 80mph on highway will drain more gas, that's what i've read anyhow.

more SS's????

full tank on 92 octane was 300 miles to the tank. when stupid CA downgraded to 91 octane i only got 240 on a full tank. thats driving at least 150 miles under 4k rpm city driving, and the other 90 miles freeway racing stuff...so yeah 240...so thats what? 20ish MPG.

i get about 23 mpg city, and 25-217 highway. i can't figure out why my gas mileage is so good though. oh well i usually get around 330-340 to a tank.

DYI01 · 02-15-2002, 12:01 PM

i get about 240 a fill up...damn crower stg 2's i used to get abpout 300 per fillup

EviLPenEviL · 02-15-2002, 12:03 PM

Well not reeeeaaaaaaaaaally..........

Let's say that I get avg of 300 miles per tank....

And let me use 15 gallons instead of 15.9 gallons......

Sooooooo 300/15 = only 20mpg...... I see that a bunch of other Luders get like 23-25ish mpg..................

If I used 340/15, that would equate out to about 22.67 mpg...... but it's not good to fill up until ur tank until it's emptied out to the ass so I fill up slighty early.......

Then again... I've been driving a bit more hard on my SS in the past few weeks than before so that contributes to my lowish mpg......

whoa how do u fill up til 15 gallons? i stop filling after 12 gallons cuz thats when the first click happens. so i get 240 on a 12 gallon tank. so i CAN fill up till 15 gallons after the first click without it overfilling on me? thanks man
