I get 17-18 full city driving, don't know what I'd get with full highway/freeway though. When I take short trips on the freeway I easily hit 19 and crack 20 without a problem as well, and this is with very minimal driving on the freeway. I usually average about 17.6 daily driving my rx7 to and from college, all city. Mod list follows.

Also, not listed is that I'm running about 15º advanced timing and am untuned. I have the s-afc and wideband hooked up but just haven't tuned it fully yet, have no corrections in the s-afc currently.

with the stock computer I was getting raped. Running 550's when its meant to run the 460(?). I have microtech now so I havent compared yet...

S5 TII-G Force ecu uprade plus others, 18/19 average.

rs_1101

with tires inflated properly, and intake/full exhaust/stockport only computer mod was safc dialed in to maximum lean (-17%@5krpm) i kept it at 3200 rpm exactly at -10%. i pulled 40mpg on a trip to long beach... about 20miles. i still dont know how i did that.
course also.. if im getting on it.. ill see about 10mpg in the city. normally its about 15 tho

i got 10-12 mpg city shifting under 3000, probably 15 hwy
i dont go over often

RylAssassin

Right now im getting 17-19 mpg mix city/highway. This is with an untunned S-AFC and no o2 sensor by the way. Last year when i was using my old o2 sensor i was getting up to 20 on the highway so i believe that the o2 sensor is good for about 1-2 mpg which in todays world is worth it.

By the way on a side note as soon as you go into boost on a TII you loose a dramatic amount of mpg. I find that on the average run if i drive "underboost" (new term?) I get a hell of a lot better mpg than if i drive even 1 or 2 psi "intoboost"

Mr. Gadget

With all due respect 40MPG - naah. You might have put less fuel in the second fill.

My 90 GXL gets about 15-17 mpg during the winter, about 18-20 mpg in the summer, with normal driving, and the occasional visit to redline.
Mods: Apexi intake, RB presilencer, and catback exhaust, stock TII rims, and front and rear strut bars.

kjamc82

I got like 23 MPG on my 700 mile trip from Cincinnati to NC. Mostly highway though. I usually get like 15-17 in city though. This basically a stock just Apexi Intake, and a Cheap Exhaust.

jediknight7

18-20 driving semi aggressively at times but most of it is highway miles.

22.5 on long road trips when i am not goosing the throttle much.


mods in my sig.

wtf no turbo 10 mpg ... nice

Jererx7

On the trip to Sevenstock last fall I averaged 25-27 MPG, all freeway driving. Everyday driving, I get 17-20 MPG. Really boosting alot...maybe 15 MPG. Rebuilt engine myself winter of 03-04 used RA apex seals, stock porting, stock turbo. TID mod with dual cone K&N filter, Flow through stainless mufflers and silencers in (most of the time).

Jererx7

I talked to a guy who was selling an '86 GXL for $500.00 yesterday (in really tough shape...) and he was trying to tell me that he averaged 35 MPG driving it to work daily, everything on it looked stock. I think he was trying to blow smoke up my xxx! I just said "Wow, thats UNBELIEVABLE!"

dr.jones63

20-21 mpg daily driving. 87 T2 - AC, PS, Exhaust mods, intake, no emmisions, Rtek 1.5

RXONMYMIND

The hummer has nothing on me..hehe. They say that oil will run out in 2050??I'll drive that down to like 2010......

H4Inf

I think its so bad because:

a) No primary injectors, pretty much got to floor the pedal to accelerate at all

b) Leaking fuel out the filler cap

ColinShark

26 is my best. Mostly highway.

Havoc

8.9 miles/ gal ( I do 189km to 50 litres )

only city driving.... I know she runs a bit rich...
scared to go on a longer trip because I will prob run out of fuel between fuel stops :P

H4Inf

lol thats insaner than my 10MPG

On a good day I get maybe 230km out of 53 litres :P

What are the specs of your engine? Mods?

Havoc

T04E, front mount, full 3", 2x550's 4x720's, microtech + Lots of other bits and peices.

Hmm Im curious is my **** compression has much to do with fuel economy ?

but hell it doesnt really worry me, sure fuel is pricy but hey if thats what it cost to have good power and a hell of a lot of fun then I will pay it ($1.14 a liter)
