August 14, 200619 yr At this speed I don't really mind it that much. This is the average at 80mph for 120 miles. What do most 4 bangers get at 80 mph?? $3.19/gal is still crap though.. >
August 14, 200619 yr I've averaged around 19 in mostly city driving with heavy a/c usage in my Aurora. Every time I start sweating bullets as the fuel pump registers $55.00, I remember what a horrible experience those rental Corollas were. Nothing is more comfortable than wafting down the interstate at highway speeds in a large V8 car.

August 14, 200619 yr I feel good since the Caprice on a hiway at about 78-82 gets around 25 mpg! but city im luvky if i get 14 mpg.
August 14, 200619 yr Well, I guess I'm not quite in the same bucket as y'all with a V8-powered car, but with my Impala I normally average about 25 in the city, but if I was able to shoehorn a V8 in there, i'd probably get the same mileage as youse guys.
August 14, 200619 yr I can almost guarantee my car gets better city than highway because of my 3.73s..
August 14, 200619 yr What do most 4 bangers get at 80 mph?? 179858[/snapback] 37 mpg in mine. I supposed to get 40 highway, though, so I gotta figure out what's not up to snuff.
August 14, 200619 yr Nothing is more comfortable than wafting down the interstate at highway speeds in a large V8 car. 179859[/snapback] VERY VERY TRUE
August 14, 200619 yr my old 3 clyinder car got 58 mpg. not even a prius can top that. Edited August 14, 200619 yr by capriceman
August 14, 200619 yr Yeah... the Northstar is a great motor. My hatred of FWD aside our '97 STS's motor is still pretty damn awsome considering the car has 145,000 on it. I still have to trade in that car on something. It's been sitting at a buddy's used car lot for like 4 months now. I'm tempted to part out the car instead of selling it whole.
