l36tols1 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Go with a t/a they are sexier.. I made from here to chicago on one tank of gas averaging about 80mph.. Soooo I'm guessing 24-28 mpg/hywy seems to the average from what I have seen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Really depends on what that right foot does. In the city, probably around 18 - 20. Yes, the mileage will drop depending on the mods. Plus, once you start modding, you'll want to hammer on it a little more, which will decrease mileage as well. That probably doesn't really answer your question, but you have to look at it this way, if you want to play, you have to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 18-20....24 highway. You also have to consider too, I only get my car out on nice days and that ussually involves racing. Only issue you have to worry about the rearend when getting into modding or racing at the track often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've heard some guys with the 6-speed have pulled off close to 30 mpg on the highway, no joke. Other than the weak rear end, I can't think of any problems that they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still gets really good highway mileage though. Probably mid to upper 20's I bet but I've never checked as my foot doesn;t stay out of it long enough for me to get a good reading on miles per gallon.

Benner Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I use to get 28 highway driving from here in Delaware to Blairsville PA just past Pittsburgh. That's while putting down 365 rwhp. Around the city I usually get around 21 mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I got close to 30 on the HWY stock. I get ~ 18-20 in mostly city driving but can get closer to 15 if I play around too much. I am sure I could get 26 or so on the HWY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
