Hows your MPG?

ME-R here with 83#'s and I get 25mpg on the dot on the highway. O2's just barely tickly the .730 mark. Pyrometer stays low without boost. In town is another thing. I can go thru a full tank in less than a week just driving the car for 3 days and it is 6.9 miles one way to work.

Did you know that one could be sentenced to hell for lying just like stealing .

I got 26mpg today driving my new Supra all the way from Tucson to LA on a full tank of gas.

And I'll bet a bag of pork rhinds and a forty that you didn't even get ONE thumbs up!

I have done it repeatedly on road trips to Albuquerque from Las Cruces. Fill the tank to right til the pump shuts off. 226miles to sister's house. Whatever driving around I do while there is usually with her or her husband and then 226 miles back. 452 miles. 18 gallons. 25.11111mpg. Have made that trip at least 5 times.

Mileage of a Meanchicken

I kept track of my mileage for a couple months....wasn't very good.
This was on 26" tall DR's (20psi), no lock up, fuel pressure at 39 (line off) and driving the way I drive.

Miles / Gallons = mpg
3551.7 / 271.646 = 13.07473697mpg:biggrin:

This was mostly non-highway miles and the terrain around the area I live has a lot of hills (foothill terrain).

After recording the above mileage I installed some 28" tall street radials on the back, and need to get the right trans speedo gear to be able to record the mileage accuratly again.

I'm sure that between the taller street radials, turning down my fuel pressure a bit and getting my lock up fixed, I could do a few mpg better.
