What is your MPG on your FD?

I know FD's are gas guzzler and all but I was wondering what other people are getting for their mpg.

I get about 14mpg w/ TT

I get low to mid 20s on my FD with downpipe and intake. We'll see how I do after adding an open exhaust PFC and a rebuilt engine with a street port. ANd it's spelled "your".

On my Auto FD... With just the Greddy pulley kit and a CD player (ha ha)... I average 19-21 around town and 23-25 on the highway....

My T78 FD average is anywhere from 8-16 mpg around town and as high as 23 on the highway.

The FD, at least in stock trim, does not respond well AT ALL to extremely short trips (< 2mi.). During my college years at CalPoly, I used to commute to school with my FD. From just those trips, I netted an average of ~7mpg. It was disgusting.

Though, pure highway trips, I'd get ~24mpg. A city/highway usually nets ~16mpg.

Around 15 combined driving. Spirited gets into the single digits. Turnpike travel high teens - low twenties. This is with my new streetported engine. The old engine would get closer to 20 combined, actually got about 23 mpg on a long (well...120 mile) trip once.

I get about 14-17 MPG in mixed street driving. I don't pay particularly close attention to it, since that's not what I bought it for.

No ****? I saw it from a distance and I thought "How ****** useless is that in Juneau?" Yours is MUCH nicer. Don't imagine you drive much though huh? I work in Juneau ocassionally...maybe next time I'm up there we can get a beer.

Before I swapped the injectors, I could get 400 highway miles on a tank. I think that comes out to about 18 city/25 hwy.

I need to switch to 550/1300....

8.67 galons of gas last me about 124 miles city driving. Is this normal or is it drinking too much. Also have down pipe, intake and aftermarket muffler.
