what kind of miles per gallon are you guys getting? I get about 26-freeway and 15-city, average is usually about 17-18mpg

 

I get 22-25 mpg mixed city/highway. This is in my 90 GTU.

 

Bone stock about 17 or so, if I give it hell. Around 20 or so city if I drive like grandma. Havent really been on the highway enough to give a good rec. 1988 vert all stock

 

i get about 17 MPG too. 87 turbo II upgraded to an 89+ light rotors & housing + upgraded turbo w/ streetport. @8 1/2 PSI
3 inch downpipe & exhaust w/ big cat. cold air intake.

 

I said it before and I'll say it again:

WHAT ******* 20 and 22 and 25 MPG ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

My TII can barely break through the 10mpg limit

...but I know for a fact that my cats are going up the "stairway to heaven" (catalytic heaven that is... ), so they need to go A.S.A.P...

....and also I must have a lead foot

 

Haven't checked, but i'm guessing mid 20's based on cars with similar mileage, that i've driven equal distances.

 

I only have 11-13 mpg, driving in a heavy traffic everyday.

 

18-20 highway, 15-18 city. Depends on which street I am on.

 

I get about 15 in city and 20 on hwy. I know my cats are shot, so hopefully when I take them out it will be better.

 

I get about 12-13 in my convertible in mixed driving, sometimes less.

 

Thread ressurection time


I was considering an FB or FC as a commuter, and like a good member, I searched. So lets get this thread going again


I will start
My 8 gets 16mpg no matter how I drive it around town, and 19mpg on the freeway

 

i got around 17 street, 22 highway.

peace

 

get 26 straight hwy mixed about 17..thats creeping around..large streetport/3in exhaust intake no emmisions

 

I get about 18 with my foot in it as much as I can get away with, but mixed driving.

25 highway, 17 around town

 

19-21 mostly highway - no matter how I drive it. Stock '90 TII

 

I seem to get 19-20 regularly with my bone stock 91 vert.....I don't quite drive like grandma but I definitely don't beat on my car either.... highway mileage tends to be a tad higher, but I've never seen the 25 some people claim

 

I only get 15-18 with my 88 vert, and that's with a good chuck of hwy driving. Of course, around here hwy driving is far different than people in the midwest with flat-for-miles roads. I tend to spend a lot of time at 4k+, but even if I baby it for a tank, I don't manage much better.

My 87 TII would get 10-15, with 10 being city driving alone and PLENTY-o-boost.

 

Copied directly from the FAQ sticky:


What kind of gas mileage does the FC get on average? What can I do to increase mileage?
The FC is a sports car, not a Geo Metro. Therefore, mileage on average seems to hover around 15-18 MPG city, and 23-26 MPG highway. If you are getting less, you either have a heavy foot or your car needs a tuneup.

As for increasing mileage, the first thing that needs to be done is making sure the car is in good tune. Do a full tuneup including plugs, wires, fluids, filters, timing, TPS adjustment and everything specified for the 60K tuneup (see Haynes/Factory service manual). Learn to drive with less of a heavy foot. Accelerate slowly, coast in neutral to stops, and keep the revs below 3800. A vacuum gauge helps (drive for most vacuum), as well as an A/F gauge (try to keep it in closed loop). You can get some great mileage if you are patient.

This topic comes up weekly, or anytime fuel prices get a little high. It has been covered many times in the past with always the same result: a bunch of people listing their mileage which averages out to the numbers in the FAQ.
