Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
same type i'm doing when i borrow my moms v6 jeep and get 14mpg.. and i get there a lot slower.
i'd say its 60% highway 40% city and maybe 20% of that i would consider 'spirited'

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
I'm getting about the same mileage, 14-17 mpg, around town. I keep telling myself it'll go up once I get used to the Ty and stop spooling up everywhere I go, but I just can't keep from boosting just to hear it. Guess the truck's close to normal, then.

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
That does not sound bad for running low 11s at the strip. As you can see in my sig, I love good old Geos for DDs. I filled the tank yesterday, 37 bucks. The 9.5 gallons should get me over 320 miles. I beat the living hell out of it to, I have to beat it to get to the speed limit :rotf: Sorry to be a little off topic. If my Sy was inspected right now, I would see what she gets to.

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
Ive been getting 17mpg with 60# injectors and running code59, This is mostly highway, but the highway I travel on always has traffic so you tend to slow down and speed up alot. :roll:

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
I put in about 6 gallons a lil bit ago to top it off and when looking at the trip odometer I figure I was getting about 14mpg, but that's with more city than non-stop driving and it smells like the Ty is running rich anyway.
I would also concur that your getting pretty decent mileage for an 11sec Ty.

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
Hey Guys, Im new here but wanted to ask a question or two.There seems to be alot of info out there, you seem very knowledgeable. I live in los angeles but bought the ty in ohio. Here is the problem, my brother is driving it back and it is averaging 10 miles a gallon. do you know of any place in los angeles that I can take it to once it gets here or what the problem might be?
thanks

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
When I bought mine, I had a 700 mile road trip back home and I averaged 21 going 70. Highway only. I usually get about 17.5 going 50/50 with spirited driving as well

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
thank you sir for that. My bro is going to stop in oklahoma city and I am almost wanting to find a place in or around that area that can work on it. I mean they say they are stopping every 160 miles to fill up and This is going to be getting really expensive. I dont know what to do, I dont want someone to F*ck it up out there that I dont know....
here it is at a gas station an hour ago, I am so excited to get it here

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
You are probably in dire need for a tune up! Bad plugs/wires/cap/button. Dirty air filter. You know, normal tuneup items can really zap fuel mileage if left unattended. I would start off with that before going off the deep end and paying a load of money for a professional.

Re: what kind of mileage ya'll getting
After reading this post, I have to laugh LOL !!! Everyone here is worried about MPG, and yet don't know how lucky you really are. Here in Alice Springs Australia we pay over AU$1.72 pr litre for premium fuel, which per tank (US$37 full tank, 20 gallons) equates to about AU$258 to fill the tank. If I could get 400 miles out of it, is still very expensive...
Please enjoy your cheap fuel while you can. I live in a small town where 10 minutes to work is being stuck at every traffic light, and I still feel the punch. But wouldn't trade it for the world...Luv the Syclone...
