Subject: Re: Poor milege in 85 vette 21mpg. by bogus on 2008/11/14 15:32:43 Dude... you are so close to stock, the ghost of Zora has blessed your car!  I get about 12~14 in my normal daily commute. Most of that is because the car barely reaches op temp before I park it again. Now, with that said, when I get it out on the open road, it does do better. Upwards of 22~23. There is no real "open road" here in LA... that's also part of the problem. Several years ago, when I had access to a real open road, I would drive from Dover, DE to Sebring, FL for the 12 hours. The one time I measured this, I averaged, for the entire 1070 mile trip, a touch over 25 MPG. That includes driving through Washington, DC, Jacksonville, and Orlando. Now, I did a second test to that and when I tanked up in NOVA, (after the worst of the DC metro area), I tracked it until I got to Sanford, FL, and that, pure interstate, 75~80 MPH, I was getting over 27 MPG. This is a 1992 LT1/MN6. |
