Fuel mileage

[jportwood]

Could you you guys give me some real world numbers both city and highway using the base kit(105 pulley). Thanks

My 99 with 150,000 miloes on it gets about 28-30 highway and 25-26 average city/highway. I don't do much city only driving but, based on the two numbers given, city must be about 22-23?

You didn't ask about race track driving. :) I think that is about 12. ;)

It all depends on how much time your foot spends on the floor. Chuck and Ari, for example, probably only get 12 anytime. LOL

Just back from the Gap and I managed to find 'real' non-ethanol gas on the first fill-up. I was driving extermely conservatively, cruise set at 75ish and managed 35.5mpg. I thought it was a fluke but Scangauge confirmed. Spirited driving= 25mpg, 'normal' highway/city= 28.5mpg. Autocross= 6.8mpg(non SC'd.)

6.8MPG non-supercharged!

Do you let off the gas when apply the brakes?

Running the 115mm pulley on my HS, I get 25~26 MPG all around no matter what Tom says. :)

Now that I have a 125mm though...

I get about 22-24 with my 110mm pulley. Mixed City/Highway. Mine is a 96...

Lifting is for wimps! Still on the road and the next tank of ethanol fortified gas in GA netted me a mere 24mpg. Slightly more agressive interstate driving and higher IAT
(156* vs 130* previous tank)
