This past weekend I ran 357 miles highway mostly on 16.5 gallons of gas (measured at the pump) To Start: - Fuel low light was on - pumped 16.5 shell v-power.Drove 357 Miles highway - kicking it @ 75-80 whole way. Couple of WOT jaunts. Full Trunk 3 passengers, left lane mostly.

Fuel light came on again - Made it to my exit - pumped 16.4 gallons in the tank - clicked it twice.357/16.4 = 21.7 mpg

I thought that was pretty good. I didn't buy the Marauder for mileage but I think I did pretty well this trip, and I have 3.73s. I think the headers/exhaust has helped.

What are you guys getting? (who keep track)

I keep track every tank. I average 17.5 in my commute where it can take an hour plus to drive 35 miles. On freeway, it is run in the 75 mph range. I am not spinning the tires at every opportunity but I do enjoy a spirited drive. The car has set of 4.10's.

Now did I buy this for mileage, not at all. I keep track because if the mileage varies from my 17.5 too much for too long, it might indicate a problem.

Thanks'

N/A averaged 21.5 to 23.0 on the highway

S/C 19.0 to 21.0 on the highway, around town, 10.0 t0 14.0, depending on how athletic my right foot gets...

Full Trunk 3 passengers.....

I let my passengers ride up front. Putting 'em in the trunk doesn't appear to improve your mileage too much. :)

I usually don't track MPG; but I have gotten about 24-25 MPG on longer highway trips. Down around 15-16 in town and traffic ... if I'm lucky.

Been getting low 20's on the SB. Haven't tracked Mr. Black yet but would assume similar results. Both are N/A for now

Be advised, that WILL change, should you decide to add a postive manifold pressure device... ;)

16.5 mixed 20-21 all freeway 70mph. All freeway 80-90mph (road trips) 18ish. These 4.10's are great gears but once you get past 2500rpm (75) the fuel goes fast.

The only time I wish I had the 3.73's my other Merc had is on the open road.

20-21 mix of stop and go traffic & highway. As soon as the summer blend came back gas mileage started to go up again.

Before Gears stock tune 20 around town cruising (speeds are 45-55 around our town) and 24.2 was best (21.8-24 average).

Now with SCT2 Zack Tune, 4.10's and K&N CAI Best is 22.7 and town is 17-18.9.

Gas here in Atlanta, GA area SUCKS!!!! On the road to Mobile, AL 2 months back I was back around 22 at 78 MPH (cruise speed) avg.

Not bad for a fully loaded car that puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!

I don't know what mileage I'm getting this year yet, as I haven't yet emptied the first tank of the season. I am dreading going to the pumps to get my 93!!

+1, same here. I've put less than 100 miles on it since being put back on the road. The Evil Orb gets 32 around town and 36 highway, but too small for trips. Unfortunately I'm starting to take the mind set that there is no sense in owning a car that just sits in the side yard 95% of the time. Wife gets really :mad2:about it, but I need something more practical. You'll know I did it when I'm not on here anymore.
