OK, now for a totally irrelevant question.

With Badger’s post of driving up to Baltimore with 3.55’s my curiosity has over come me.

How does the addition of a Trilogy on a otherwise stock or mostly stock MM affect the
mileage. Please, I know if you have the extra power you will use it but I am talking about
apples to apples. The engine is going to be more efficient but conversely the larger injectors
will flow more fuel.

I know too that if you are contemplating a S/C install fuel mileage should come under the
heading “If you ask you probably can’t afford it” but I’m asking anyway.

Best range on my tank N/A was 350, both with 3.55's and 4.10s.

Best range S/C was 260.

Any differences in mileage will be mostly due to the weight of the user's right foot. Driving it "normally" will result in a neglegible, if any, difference in fuel mileage. I was N/A for six months, and I swear I used more fuel then, probably because my foot was always on the floor.

If you're worried that your mileage will tank after the Trilogy, stop worrying. :)

I routinely get in the 22mpg range highway, but then again I drive at about 85 or so.

Don't worry just do it.

15-16 mpg in the city, 21 mpg highway

mileage is 1-2 mpg worse in the winter (which is 6 months of the year around here :help: )

I'm with Chuck. My highway mileage actually improved, probably from the better tune. My around town mileage blows, mainly because I tend to "get on it" quite a bit. My city mileage would suck with or without a Trilogy.

The absolute worst mileage, I ever got with the Trilogy and 4:10's was 15 +
No problem getting 20+ highway.
Go for it!

^^^what they said^^^

My mileage fell about 1 MPG on the highway and my thinking is there will be some parasitic loss due to the extra machinery you are running off of the crank!!:cool: I'm still getting 21.5 to 22.5 MPG and cannot complain since I now have over 500++HP at the crank......Hell I had a 1970 VW Beetle that never got 20 MPG so my GOOD mileage with my Marauder is a real bonus!!:beer:

If you buy a car like this and add $5K to $7K of mods for performance I don't think you should worry too much about getting <20 MPG on the highway??:rolleyes:

Just mt observations and my $0.02 worth!!:D

Thank you, Gentlemen, thank you all.

132 gets me about 15 right now. But that punk in the BMW ZX4 had it coming.
