I don't care how big your engine is if you're not making a lot of power you're not eating tons of gas.

1.6L gets 30-40MPG and makes 160HP

5.7L getting 18-22mpg making 250+ HP

1.6L making 250+ HP making 18-22mpg

Hmmmm

bottom line if you make power you eat up gas. If you don't make any power then you don't eat up gas. =)

My civic had Vtec with stock cams however it still managed to get around 18MPG at best.

lol, the "enhancement smoker", good movie.

 

[capone9399]

its nice to let the rpms go high and keep the gas gauge up unlike my previous car

 

[wanderinman]

My first car; 1999 Jeep wrangler on 33" tires - 8mpg
My second car; 1989 Toyota pickup on 33" tires - 18mpg
My current car; 1996 Acura Integra on not 33" tires - 28mpg

I can't wait for what I drive next, its been a sweet progression

 

[pills_PMD]

s2000 got me 24.85 two fill ups ago and 27.63 last tank

 

[posol]

the suby is a pig... lol.

its got a huge gas tank... like 16 gallons i think, and i only get liek 225 miles out of it. i miss the hatch

anyway, 2.15 a gallon? shit, i was paying that in late 2003. gas here is like 240-245 for 93.

 

[wanderinman]

C4s do get ridiculous gas mileage from what i have heard, so its probably true

 

[Jeef]

He is right they get good gas milage for an 8. My truck gets 15mpg city and about 20 mpg highway. Got to love filling a 26 gallon tank when gas is over 2 bucks a gallon. Gas pumps shut off at 50 bucks when you use your credit card
