I used to have the same setup and mileage as REVHED in my old GSL... my GSL-SE used to get at least 21MPG daily driven or almost 330-340 miles to a full tank..now it runs smoother and stronger with a newer engine but only averages around 17MPG..weird

84 SE, stock as a box of rocks, driven daily during warm weather (~6 mo/yr), ~20mpg. Up into the low-mid 20s if I'm really nice to it, which is rare over a span of 300+ miles.

Hmm... I think I'm gonna have to try and offer some mercy to us poor Canadians here wondering... WTF is my fuel economy in F*ing miles per american gallon?
So guys, get your fuel economy in whatever form you like as long as it's got km and L in it and do this:
Example with my old shadow's tank. 50L/430km
50L / 3.8 = 13.15 American Gallons
430km / 2.2 = 195.45 miles
so if I'm getting 195.45 miles per 13.15 gallons, I get how many miles per gallon?
195.45 / 13.15 = 14.86mpg
****! my shadow wasn't that bad.... :P but seeing as my rex isn't on the road yet I have no clue what it does

I get about 14-16.9 depending on my driving mood this is my 12a street port running a mikuni 44... now once i get my dellorto 50 I think my fuel economy will go down even more.

the worst mileage car i owm is my bone stock white 85 automatic! it gets 11 to 12 mpg!
a blow-through turbo car (stock 13bt) gets as good as 17 mpg and as bad as 5 mpg, totaly depends on how much boost you have that day!

when i first got my car it got like 5 mpg, but about a week later i noticed a small hole in the gas tank. hmmm, that explains a lot. now i keep under $5 in it and it gets about 15mpg. depending on the driving. if i do a lot of high rpm's its about 12 mpg

i also see in your sig that it needs a carb you can get one at the yard as well. just make sure it works first. i dont know how much they go for though.

Old [Sch|F]ool
GSL, stock except for Pacesetter exhaust, Purolator fuel pump, Holley reg set to 2psi.
last night I went 130 miles using 5 gallons of fuel. Not all of this was highway. You do the math.
And this is with spark plugs that still need to be changed!

some people are getting as much as 26 mpg on the highway, and some people are getting as low as 12mpg?
My 174K miles 12a original engine/ trans/ rear end/ 2nd clutch (throw out bearing getting loud) gets 18-20mpg, and that is a mix of in town cruise and backroad blast. I don't think I would want a car that only got 12mpg for back roads driving romps or cruising, I wouldn't be able to drive it as much (without feeling guilty- heck 12mpg could be a supercharged v8 or a jacked up 454 4x4). No thanks. Last saturday, I drove for three hours and 140 miles straight- driving my favorite local roads. That took half a tank, but with some or your guy's rides that would have been an entire tank.
