How much are you modded daily drivers spending on fuel/week
 
Hey All,
I have had to drive my FD for the last 3 days because my beater is in the shop. So basically it's gonna be a daily driver for another 2 days. I am staggered to see how much this thing sucks fuel down. I filled up two days ago and I am close to 1/4 tank now...

Just curious how much you modded daily driven FDs are spending a week on fuel.

fd3virgin 02-21-04 06:05 PM

around 12-15 mpgs with a t78 .....even lower when in boost all the time:)

FD_Newb_1974 02-21-04 06:08 PM

I'd say 10-12 mpg, streetported with sequential twins.

sometimes $75 / week

rynberg 02-21-04 06:18 PM

I get about 12 mpg when I do mostly city driving, that goes up to about 15 mpg if I do some highway. I daily drive my car -- literally.

Since I drive about 900-1000 miles/month, I spend about $130/month on gas. Scary.

scratchjunkie 02-21-04 06:18 PM

$60 on average all bolt ons minus ic

PVerdieck 02-21-04 06:22 PM

I am stock twins and the rest of my mods listed, untuned, running on the default PFC map because I don't want to pay for tuning until I put the IC in. Anyways, I filled up today and Houston City and some Highway (70-30) netted me 11.75 mpg.

RX7WEEE 02-21-04 06:23 PM

i get about 12mpg

Kaotic Dan 02-21-04 07:03 PM

About $130 a month also. I drive it 30mins to work 5 days a week at the minimum. The MPG is the main reason I need to find a beater, as so far reliability is top notch.

vchacon 02-21-04 07:27 PM

60 mi one way to work. Everyday. 5 days a week. ~$400 per month. My RX-7 or DD Mustang Cobra. I need to get a little commuter car. :rolleyes:

reza 02-21-04 08:15 PM

$75 on a sunday (home-thunderhill-home)

teamstealth 02-21-04 08:22 PM

i actually average 16mpg city. ~$100 a month gets the job done unless gas spikes to $1.97/gal for premium :mad:

areXseven 02-21-04 09:15 PM

15 MPG is my average. But I only drive it about 400-500 miles per month. So I only spend about 50 bucks per month on Fuel (93 Octane).

I actually got 15 - 18 mpg on the stock engine. I'm terrified of the milage I'll be getting with my 20B which will be lightly daily driven.

SkywarpR 02-21-04 10:11 PM

I spend about $40 a week. Mods are listed.

slickrick 02-21-04 10:23 PM

you all gotta take into consideration what your payin a gallon for gas. its higher in certain area's than others. 93 octane in pa is like 1.96 and it goes up every friday till monday to 2. somthing

MrRx 02-21-04 10:36 PM

i get like 13-16mpg depending how much hard i run the car that tank of gas

impactwrench 02-21-04 10:44 PM

$5/ wk. Chicago. Winter is 10 months a year so not many saltless days to drive

BRADYMAHONEY 02-22-04 12:38 AM

Last time I checked I got 13 around town. It gets alot better than that on the highway.

Fumanchu 02-22-04 02:13 AM

Shit, in So Cal right now 91 octane is $2.20+ :eek:


I need a diesal Jetta :D



Ohh ya almost forgot, 14-16 mpg all stock except for cat-back.

Godzilla-T78 02-22-04 02:21 AM

I spend $25 every 2 weeks.. My fd is my daily driver..

oneflytrini 02-22-04 02:30 AM

$56 a week

r1dreamer 02-22-04 02:44 AM

im trying to buy another car, as per now with the FD $20 gets me about 190 miles, i put $60 a week into the tank, mods in sig. i dont mind payin the money cause just driving it, pays for the gas. i love the looks i get, the complements.

RX-7racer88 02-22-04 02:57 AM

I spend about 25+ a week depends on how much driving is done.

WaLieN 02-22-04 09:41 AM

My car is fairly stock (see sig.), and I get about 16MPG in combined driving, 24MPG (I KNOW!) in all highway driving. Well, gas here is $2.25/gal., so I have confined myself to my dorm so that I don't drive as much. Now, I spend about $70/month on gas.
