I did 30mpg on I95 coming back from DC. I went 505 miles on one tank and when I filled it up it wasn't completely empty.

Mine has no gas in it, and it moved prolly a fraction of a mm as I leaned on it while working, so I guess thats infinate mileage?

Authority MAf system, K27/6, 19psi. Running way to rich.

I consistently get 56-27mpg overall (city/highway/romps/ect). I get a little over 300 miles out of a tank of fuel (12 gallons..I fill before E!!).

I just changed my fule pressure regulator from the 3bar to the 2.5 to maybe help a little with fuel mileage. I need to figure out how to hook up the O2 sensor next....

On a recent 1,568 mile trip, averaging no less than 80 mph I was getting 28.5 mpg overall. I kept checking and coming up with roughly the same numbers on multiple refueling stops.

This past saturday I drove my new 86 home from Daytona Beach... 985 miles end to end.

I set two records: 1) nothing below 90 mph the whole way thru Georgia and 2) shaved over 1 hour off the total trip time (16 hours).

I averaged 25 mpg at speeds of 90 +++.

to me

My son Dustin averaged between 28.5 & 30 MPG from Minnesota to Florida. These cars are amazing!
