GAS Mileage (Update)

[Jimmy Lavoie]

I posted a message a few weeks ago regarding gas mileage. At that time, I posted my results based on highway mileage.



Well, I've now gone through a few more tanks - all city driving. I now have 2,000 miles.



Results: 16.1mpg



Still pretty happy about that with a V8 - again, I drove with a pretty light foot - NEVER more than 2,500 RPM.



Next test - a more normal drive - not looking at the RPM.

Brand new, eh? It should get better as it gets broken in. Grats on the new ST.

That sounds about right to me for city driving with the V8. Mine is a 4wd version, and I get abour 15.x city and around 20.x highway (70-80mph with cruise set)

I love the mileage I'm getting with the V8.



Went to the Keys this weekend then to West Palm Beach for an 38 Special, REO Speedwagon and Styx concert. Drove over 400 miles round trip and averaged 22 mpg.



City ONLY averaging - 16 plus

Highway ONLY averaging - 22 plus.



Can't beat that!
