Highway MPG
Well after my 195 mile trip with the guys today she took 13.332 gallons.
That's a bit over 14.5 MPG and I am pretty happy with that. Now I must say I never got into the secondaries or even revved it up all that much. Ya it was a pretty boring trip for me but I will make up for it next time now that I know what she can get when needed. Even going slow like that we almost lost Karl on the way home. He finally caught up after about 20 miles:LOL::LOL::LOL: |
I have a mildly tuned Chevy LS6 engine, tremec 6 speed, and a 3:42 corvette diff in my Cobra tribute. It easily gets over 30mpg. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to drive it for awhile.

800 horse small block or 600 horse big block, both get about the same 8-9 mpg.

"Even going slow like that we almost lost Karl on the way home. He finally caught up after about 20 miles"
I had to wait for a long down hill grade for all my rat-motor weight to get me going fast enough to catch up with you and Danr. And, I didn't want that PoPo that hides just East of "Top of the World" to get me....again. He wasn't there yesterday. |
Oh but he was there Karl. He was parked back under the trees waiting.. and watching.. ready to pounce on the first unsuspecting speeder that came through. Actually he held up a sign that said, "Where's Ralphie?"

Took a highway trip from the Central Coast to LA 196.4 miles, took 10.6 gal. 18.5 MPG. 351 stroker EFI, 5 speed.:)
|
140 miles out on eastern long island last week - cruising 75-80, 11 gallons used.
I was pleased to say the least as i am used to a 7.5 mpg average....not 12.5 mpg highway with my 427R! |
