Muscle car or econo box ?????

If I had to choose one, Muscle Car. No better feeling than opening up the throttle on a V-8.

That`s some pretty good mileage out of the Vette. What is that cruising around 65-70mph on the freeway?

[Ronkh]

I was playing... :0

It was a 1500+ mile trip

Wonder how well I`ll do going back to FL, since it`s al down hill.

I drove it from FL to CT through Penn etc, so prob up to about (deleted) and down low as traffic dictated

Since the best and the average are both the same. I`m thinking you had the guage set to show the last 50 miles, hit the reset button, took your foot off the throttle creating a high vacuum situation and took the picture.

Now do the same thing and put your foot through the floorpan.

I like that Mileage !!!

My Hemi Grand Cherokee got 35mpg going Downhill on the long Grapevine Descent heading North on I-5 out of LA ...
If it had been longer and I didnt have to hit the brakes alot for slower drivers, it would have been better...

I think I could be happy with the twin-turbocharged 1.5L 4-Cylinder BMW first built to go F-1 racing in the early 80`s I believe...

That little mouse put out 1,200 horse power, and the F-1 Drivers were scared of it because it broke traction at any speed when you put the hammer down...

Perhaps detune it to say 600-700hp, to give it some high MPG numbers on the freeway...

I could do that !!!

Muscle car, econo car and an American sports car!

[Swanicyouth]

Damn. I can`t get my M to average above 27 mpg on a freeway trip.

[rottenII]

My best was 28 mPG at 77-79mph in seventh gear on the Interstate.

[SYMAWD]

My Civic Si can`t do that well. Then again 3000+ RPM on the highway is probably why.

[ShaneB]

I`d love a muscle car... But for now I`m quite happy with the 40+mpg my sonic gets

[PA DETAILER]

I get 17 mpg in the xterra.

On a good note....gas dropped to $3.39/gal here this morning. A all time low.

Holy crap !!! It was $2.97 here in Delaware today.

I`ll stick with Japanese sports cars, some of which have a nice mix of power and MPG.

Mine however does not meet those standards. Overall I average about 19.5 MPG in a 4cyl .
