lets see the tank is about 16 gallons, correct. now divide an average of 185 miles(per tankful) by 16 = ~11.5.
havent used the car in say 8 months at 20 bucks a week, so that ~32 * 20 = 640(ive saved since my car has been outta commission) would have rather spent twice as much and being able to drive my car, than not driving at all.
hopefully my, whatever kinda porting i did falls into, will get around the same mileage. lol
ouch $$$...see my thread and compare....

I've been getting about 15 in my TII. Haven't driven it much this winter, so I don't know if my mods have had an effect on mileage. I do know it's faster now, so I presume it's also thirstier!
Sorry, not a first gen, but FYI.

8.5 miles to the gallon on my FD mostly around town normal driving, around 5 mpg if I'm railing the **** out of it... 4460cc's worth of injectors dump a lot of fuel at 1.3 bar and 90% at 50psi fuel pressure with twin walboro pumps..

I had a calculated 4mpg on my old 85 GS , but of course that was before I rebuilt the carb Funny how it actually idled after the carb rebuild . If I remember right it got about 20mpg going to school and back (7mile trip)
