I was just curious as to what gas mileage to expect, the car I'm getting should put down a little less than 300whp.

to many vairables.. I think more info would be nice, and even then, it also depends on driving style and the condition of your engine and components..

Really I was just looking for people to post what kinda mileage they were getting in their cars.



The car I'm hopefully getting (87 Turbo II) has a large street port, hi flow cat, custom intake, upgraded injectors, light weight flywheel, metal TID, and a r/b downpipe (prolly)



Oh yeah, engine is newly rebuilt (around 200 miles). And actually I was hoping to get an idea of what kinda gas mileage I would get when pushing it hard and when cruising.

I get a average of 20, you will probably get 10-14, worse

when you boost alot.

my fc when it had the 13bt would get 16-18mpg, now with the 3 rotor gets 10-14

12 mpg. I **** you not. This was cruising @ 65 mph on the highway.



Course, my O2 sensor wasn't hooked up and the car isn't tuned. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Last year I made 17 mpg usually cruising @ 75 mph. Base tuned Power FC with a working O2 sensor.





If you care about gas mileage don't buy an RX-7. Especially a modified one.



If that car doesn't have an aftermarket ECU get one before you waste the engine.

Not worried about gas, just was curious.



ECU was already planned for notice my other thread: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?...showtopic=20741



Thanks for all the info https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I seem to get 20 no matter what I do, traffic with the A/C on



once I got something like 24-26, cant remember exactly, but that

was all highway. I of course have no turbo, so therefore I suck anyhow.

The highest I ever got on my TII was around 25. On the highway, I average 23, and in town I get 17. That's not bad at all, IMO.
