What are your avg. on a tank of gas?

[dohc324ci]

Hey fellas,

I just picked up a Marauder for my daily driver and will be commuting about 60 miles per day. Just wondering what you guys are doing and day and what MPG I should be expecting.

15-17 city 20-22 highway

[Aren Jay]

I hit 400 km and I refuel.

Average about 14 city. I'm lead footed and turn off overdrive.

[Marauderjack]

Average driving I get 18-19 MPG around town and 21-23 on the highway......If I drive it harder only the town mileage falls to 16-17 MPG but I've never seen it below 16 MPG.......over 500 CHP and BETTER MILEAGE than a 40 HP 1970 VW I once had!!!!:beer::bows::D

These cars are truly GREAT!!!!:bows:

Enjoy it and be safe!!:beer:

Marauderjack:burnout:

[Bradley G]

No warm up, hyper mile-ing , I got 18.5 city with 4:10's and a power adder.
Driving like a "Street bully", turns it into 15's :P

[Bluerauder]

23.5 MPG highway and 16-17 MPG around town. Might be a tad less now with the new tune .... 'cause I seem to "get on it" a little more. Haven't bothered to check MPGs in quite a while ..... it is what it is.

[jonroe]

I commute 60 miles per day in DC metro area at times when traffic moves pretty well. I get a steady 19-20mpg. On long trips I get 24-25 mpg.

[Paul]

I average 15 city low 20's highway. I've only driven pure highway once - coming home from GA in October I had a long stretch of highway on cruise control - got 25 mpg. I'm not sure I believe that either. Usually my highway driving is only part of a tank, so that tank's average mpg will go up to maybe 19. Day to day, I usually need to start looking for a station at 225 miles - not empty, just down below a quarter tank.

[ImpalaSlayer]

an over all average of about 20mpg

[bob6364]

Went from Connecticut to Chesapeake,Virginia and back got a solid 22mpg and 75-80 mph I was floored....never expected it to be that high.:cool:

[captain]

20mpg consistantly. 300 miles to the tank. Low fuel lite comes on at 285 miles. Then I drive real nice till I find good fuel... fill er up and its about 15 gallons at 3.29 each 50 bucks to top it off. Meaning the gauge reads empty but still have 3 or 4 gals hiding in there. fast or slow, naughty or nice 20 mpg zone. Wish it had the fuel/useage/trip computer like the marquis.

[Marauder]

I've gotten about 22 on the highway. Maybe 16-17 combined city/highway.

[ckadiddle]

Roughly a Quarter of a tank per hour of runtime on the highway. :)

[Marylandrauder]

I get 21 around the burbs and 25 or better on the highway.:burnout:

[rayjay]

On winter gas I get about 17mpg +/- .5 around town. Summer 18.5-19mpg with a consistant 24.5mpg highway. Of course this is right foot dependant. ;)

[OneBADLsE]

I almost always average 20 during the summer (i drive it like i stole it too)

On the winter blend, i have seen a dropoff. Around 16-19 city/hwy mix.


3.27's, original tune up (close to 60k), 2 1/2 exhaust del. 2 rear cats

[chader]

my last couple of tanks have goten me about 100 mile per tank..I think it has something to do with the whistle noise on acceleration.....lol

6.4 MPG!?! :eek::eek::eek:

[dohc324ci]

Thanks Captain,

After two tanks this is what I have experienced so far. I just wanted to confirm.This is a great site; thanks for all the informative replies!

[Raudermaster]

13-16 city, 18-23 highway. Highway/city mix. I see only about 180 at best from a full tank. I have a bastardized MM, can't figure out why my mileage is bad. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with the blower and 4.10's come spring time.

[SC Cheesehead]

Average about 14 city. I'm lead footed and turn off overdrive.

Me too. Running a tune and 4:10s, if I keep my foot out of it, in-town mpg goes up to about 17; on the highway I'll average between 21 and 23 cruising at 70 - 75.

SCCH

[Paul T. Casey]

About 20 mpg around town, 25 to 28 on the highway, 15 when I'm hot rodding.

[ctrlraven]

First full tank ever got me around 180 total miles. After that I never put discount gas in it again. Then started getting between 225-250 miles per tank and for some reason with more mods I am getting 290-320, I think it has to do a lot with Zack's help in tune tweaking mad scientist skills. I drive her like how she wants it, hard and firm lol.

16-19mpg in city
22-24mpg on highway

[whd507]

what they said, 300 +/- per tank. 19ish mixed driving, 21+ highway.
K&N filter, intake spacer and a proguard. slightly lower with tune turned on...

[Lou]

I get around 18 MPG or 300 miles in the city.

I can get 22-23 highway MPG and I've made 400 miles on a tank before the low fuel light came on.

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

I have gotten as low as 13 mpg city, w/ lots of extremely short trips on one tank. The absolute best highway trip ever, with my PCM tuned, has been 22 mpg, on summer gas. Typical highway is 19-20. This car is really bad on gas compared to other cars I've had that ran similar 1/4 mile times, but it is BIGger and way HEAVY-er than my previous rides.

Having a huge, commanding-lookin' car has to cost you something! I would definitely not buy this car for a commuter-only car, I'd have to have the MM as the fun car but something economical to drive to work in. Luckily my work pays for my commute via rail, so I don't have to worry about a commuter car. All my cars are fun only.

[SamF]

200-210 around town...takes 17 on fill up . Foot in it every chance I get :burn:, OD programmed to lockout below 40 mph.

About 20 mpg on the highway.

[smithej450]

Around 16-19 in the city 22+hwy. I don't do much city driving. When I take the MM out it is on the highway

[dohc324ci]

I get around 18 MPG or 300 miles in the city.

I can get 22-23 highway MPG and I've made 400 miles on a tank before the low fuel light came on.

400 Miles on one tank...all freeway I assume:confused: The last two tanks I was at 289-300 before the light came on. When filling up it had 3 gallons left. So if my math is right I am averaging around 18-19MPG while mixed freeway(traffic)/city.

Yeah thats what everyone said about my Mustang when I got her as a DD; I just cant see spending any amount of money on something I cant enjoy:D I dont mind putting miles on my cars so long as I can enjoy every mile:banana2:I did commute in a Mercury Tracer:lol: try sitting in traffic in that tin can.

[GrazniM]

about 225-250 with a mix of town/HW driving - less only around town. wonder if I am running too rich - white smoke quite often, no decrease in antifreeze.

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

Damn Grazni, if you are putting 17 gallons in at fill up, you are getting ~13 mpg mixed. That is not good!! I got that when I did a tank of all 5 mile trips to the store and back over the course of like a month, but that involved nothing longer than like a 15 minute drive. You'd probably get as good gas mileage w/ a big block carbureted car as what you are getting now

[Dragcity]

Before the 4.10 install, I could lean out the mix and back off the timing a bit to criuse mode. I had my car packed with me and four passengers, and all our luggage in the trunk. Managed 26 MPG on the highway. 18 around town


I now have the 4.10's and a very agressive tune, and even more agressive right foot. Seem to be around the 18 to 20 mark mixed driving. I just leaned out my tune with these 15 degree temperatures. MPG should go up a bit.

[MarauderMark]

10mpg maybe less.:rolleyes::burn:

[BirchMarauder]

I do 80 miles round trip and ritually get 385 miles before the dummy light comes on. I get gas at the same station every 4 days, and drive the same route. I average 22.6 mpg.

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

385 miles/4 days, holy crap. I don't drive my MM that far in a month.

[GrazniM]

Your tellin me - I gotta figure this out. I can be hard on the gas, but just about everyone else seems to be doing better....although I do enjoy the ride anyway:o

[ridinclean]

I usually average around 13 mpg or so and thats mostly all city driving. I like to have fun with it :burn:

[BLACKMARAUDER04]
