My 93 base has 10,000 miles on it now,and has the following mods.greddy smic,downpipe,apexi intake,m2 stage 3 ecu, rb catback.I just did a roadtrip to fla on i95 and i got 26.4 mpg with the ac on. On my return trip i got 27.6(no ac). this was doing 70 with the cruise on. i let my mom drive it she did a 50 mph punch in 3rd up to a 100.She said is much faster than my (sold) stock 98 c5.I only got 23. 4 mpg in my last fd. I am pretty sure that using mobile one syn oil is giving me better gas mileage ,we are getting 2 more mpg in our elantra using it.

my mom hates my car cause its soo low and cramped up inside like she's gonna die..so whenever i pick her up in the fd, she gets mad..she likes the way it looks as a whole though lol..

your mom sounds kick ***, any pics? lol jk

those sound like good numbers

Wait, you only have 10K miles on that thing?

Matt Hey

I call B.S.! RX-7's don't get that kind of mileage, 10k miles on a '93 is insane, synthetic oil in a rotary is BAD for it, and your not only lettin your mom drive your car but she is rippen up the road with it? Nice .

coolvette

yes. i bought it with 8300 mi.I did a sc to nc to fla ride this week. i love this car sooo much better then my 98 c5 mn6!

coolvette

ask allrotor93, or charleston rx7 club guys,they have seen my car. its near showroom condition.

coolvette

dude ,your wrong about everything you just said.And yes i use mobilone syn oil. the oil pressure is like 80 at 2700 rpm= 70mph. I just did the fuel check by filling the car until the auto cutoff at the pump.then driving from fla to sc and refilling the tank and dividing the mi by the gal of gas used. If you knew me you would know that i dont talk bullshit.

Matt Hey

I was being sarcastic. It was a joke . It always seems like someone is calling B.S. so I thought I would be first . Every once in a while someone posts with that kind of gas mileage and someone posts back that it's not possible. I use synthetic motor oil also despite the controversy. Relax.

synthetic is not bad for our cars...

coolvette

no problem,sometimes its hard to figure out when someone is kidding and when they are a a##.I thought i would share this info because i am amazed by my new fds mpg.my last one wasnt as good on gas.

i get the same mileage for stupid long *** trips like when I drove 1100 miles from texas to michigan

for shorter trips I get 23-24

coolvette

i got about 29 mpg on my 98 c5,so my fd isnt really that bad on gas when you are doing hwy miles,city driving is much lower.I think i am getting about 18mpg city.I cant seem to keep my foot out of it now since i got some mods.

charr33

I am by no means a wizard at math...but I think I am only getting 16.9 mpg...

I know I am getting 6 kilometres per litre, so if anyone feels like doing the conversion to mpg to verify, be my guest...

Sounds to me like most moderately modified FDs get pretty good mileage. Not the best but they are no worse than my buddies STI and EVO.

Im lucky if I break into the 20s on the highway. 850cc primaries suck.

r0gu3

24 mpg on the freeway here.

Gamezilla
