Wow, I must be having fun! I just averaged 9.91 mpg over the last 167 miles. And yep I'm ok with that.

When you got it you use it and it doesn't matter where or when just the feeling makes you smile even more.."Gas Mileage !? we don't need no stinkin gas mileage"!!

I gotta think the 3500 rpm stall doesn't help much but look, you have 4.56s and a 3000 stall.Yeah I know I push it too much too often. Well not really, just too much to get decent gas milage. Though that does seem low doesn't it.

man-o-man.... you beat my personal best by a few buckets per mile! my 2½ year lifetime average with my marauder is 15.25 mpg and my lowest was 11.4!

congrats! [I think]

on a sad note, next wednesday I am going to get a long needed dyno tune at Sutton Ford and as a result my mileage will probably soar, leaving me out of the competition forever.

You'll have to do better, I once got 5 mpg on a hot summer's night. :burnout:

I myself prefer to be called, uhmm....."Middle aged" :cool4:
...anywho, I'm thinking that those of us with the Trilogy (roots) superchargers would get a lot worse gas mileage than we do IF this Eaton M112 supercharger that this kit comes with didn't have the bypass valve that's always open until you get to almost the half throttle position. The Eaton company claims that it saves on gas. What do you guys think?
