My second tank of gas is getting about 14MPG...city driving. My 99 GT Vert got 18.

 

Little below average. Should get better with time.

 

lol, that's not great. Let the engine break in and get off that lead foot. We have heard you have been racing....

 

I hope so!

 

Okay Justin, try keeping it under 5000 RPM for a change

....though it won't be as much fun

 

ok? learn to conserve fuel better? its rated 17/25 so you should be able to get a little more

 

I KNEW someone was going to say this...that is why I said my SECOND tank of gas!!

 

Did you reset the computer, it may be still taking into account your driving during that first tank.

 

Yes, I reset it when I filled up.

 

There is the option to show "instant" gas milage in the message center, keep an eye on that and I'll bet you, that you'll get an extra 3-4 miles per gallon out of it.

 

Use good gas, Not the independant stuff, that will help you too. Remember he's in Colorado too. Thin air might not help either and those Mountains too. Have a great time driving you lucky guy :drive:

 

Naw...something tells me he's probably still goosing it every now and then. :P

 

Nah, it's only gonna get worse. It'd be a huge burden, but I'll take her off your hands for the right price.

 

Is there a cold air kit for it yet from MAC or anyone? I know I got a few extra miles per gallon and a couple HPs for a small investment.

 

14 MPG? Not so good, what have other people been getting?

 

Hey, it's still less than I got in city traffic with my old '86 Volvo! (boy did that thing need a new carb or what)

 

I've heard mixed results (at least on other cars) using the computer's calculation for fuel mileage. I'd verify your numbers the old fashioned way.

I'm of course still on the first tank, but I can tell she's thirsty. Took me 1/4 tank just to get her home. That's about 112 miles.

I'm sure breakin will help us, but not by 2x that's for sure. Realistically, this thing will probably only deliver 15-17 around town.

 

Ah, just like the old days in my '69 with a 302. . .

I'll get to know all those friendly gas station cashiers really well again.

 

Yea...just let it break in.
