2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0L 4x4 5spd Auto 15-18 MPG City, 20-24 Highway
1997 Honda Civic EX Coupe 1.8L VTEC 4 spd Auto 20-24 City, 30-33 Highway 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0L V8 AWD 4spd Auto 10-12 City, 20-22 Highway I had a 1993 2.3L 5spd Ranger XLT that got 22MPG City and Highway, top speed was 70mph on the floor |

Quoted:
2003 Duramax CCSB 18-19 mpg @ highway speeds. About 15-16 around town. Cranked up to the tune of around 400 horsepower, too. It's a blast to drive.  Yup. Same for me. 2004 Duramax LLY CCSB I'm putting roughly 390hp at the crank too. I modified the stock airbox, added a K&N air filter, cut the kitty and muffler off, unplugged the EGR, and have a Superchips Cortex programmer set either on Tow(usually into the 19mpgs) or Sport/Tow(18-19mpg). This all while I'm rolling on 285/75R16's. I love Diesel

My car's lifetime average is 48mpg. And it will do big smokey burnouts with nothing more than a stab of the right foot. so any hint as to what your supermobile is? I'd guess a VW TDI. That'd be about the only thing that could do that. Which is why we should be pursuing diesel tech instead of stupid gas/hybrid crap. |

My Jetta TDI gets 55 mpg. If they can somehow get a hybrid working well with an engine like that, I bet it would be very popular with at least a portion of the hybrid nutzos. VW Golf 70 mpg diesel hybrid |

14-15 around town, 22-24 highway.
Average for the past 30k miles in 17.1. Worst tank so far was 7.3. Best has been 26.2. E39 BMW M5. 364 rwhp, 341 rwtq. So, right around 420 bhp, 390 tq at the crank. Edit: F250 7.3 with lift, tires, camper, mods - 12-13 around town, 14-15 towing, 15-16 highway. Wife's C30 T5, with mods  - 26 city, 29.5 hwy (honest).
CJ-3A - 10, sorta, kinda. Definitely not highway.

03 Lancer OZ Rally - 27-31 mph But I usually get less because I tend to mess around a bit. So, those things aren't real fast, huh. There is no reason to put the missing tooth smiley there, you hit the nail on the head. I don't think they are, actually. I just paced an Evo and STi down the interstate, and they kept braking for the turns. On the interstate. They'd push it up on the straights, but they were scared as hell about cutting that wheel. A Duramax should not be able to easily pace those cars.

A Duramax should not be able to easily pace those cars. Your Duramax shouldn't be able too... Low-performance drivers, not low performance cars. Trust me on this. Oh, and a Lancer OZ Rally has exactly zero parts commonality with an Evo. |
