MPG

[67Cutlass]

With the 468BBC/700R/3.31, using the A/C with at total of 3390 miles. Low 7.6 mpg - high 14.9 mpg. The average for the PT was 12.0 mpg and I'm happy with that!

Mileage on the back roads sucked, with mpg usually under 10 mph. I got the best mileage at 75.

On the 2010 PT we averaged about 11mpg for the 3500 mile trip. "Small block" 401 AMC Gremlin 998 TF 3:15 gears.
No AC but the Sauna was working.
For 2012 we are looking at a 1962 Rambler Cross Country wagon with the 401 and an AW4 OD trans and the same gears.

um, yeah...that sauna sucked.

I was doing like 5 shirts a day...

[nickleone]

I didnt bother to change till after the shower in the hotel room.
I'm from Colorado where 30% humidity is damp.
It rains at 74%.
Our Gremlin is our ex Pro Rally car with ZERO insulation or carpets etc.

I averaged about 20-21MPG on the Tour...1995 Caprice wagon with close to 5000lbs of weight, iron-head LT1, 4L60E, I think 2.73 or 3.08 gears, 80MPH highway running, and running the A/C from about Richmond until we left Indy!

Saw a guy that had a gray-primered Chevy II with chrome Rally wheels and Tennessee plates...he had a 4.8/4L65E from a Chevy truck (totally stock), 3.08 gears in a stock housing, and claimed 27MPG at 75MPH with the A/C on. (Having said that, I suspect his car does not top 2500lbs!)

If I manage 15 next year, I'll be happy (I expect to be towing a trailer).

If I remember right his is very similar but has no woodgrain on the sides - and he's more from New England I think, maybe R.I.

Jane has scheduled me to see a shrink, she thinks I need my head examined... Putting a 413 into the Fury will definitively affect my mileage.... I'm good with that....

[Phil]

My yellow Fiero (10 PTs) with the SC3800 gets 28 MPG and the wife's Fiero (2 PTs) - stock 4 banger gets 38 MPG

[rexdogg]

will bring the '69 Z......at reasonable highway speed, in 5th, can eke out 16 mpg........around town, though, down to about 12 mpg......rexdogg!

Yes, and yes...my wagon is white, no woodgrain, wire wheelcovers RI plates.

And it's a Caprice, that's a Roadmaster!

[70chevyC-10]

Close enough for jazz as they say ----- Roadmaster - now there's a cool name for a car - kinda like the old Merucry Turnpike Cruiser.

I just mounted the new steel tank for the electrolyte in Dagmar. This weekend I should be installing the new pump and cells to get the Hydrogen system back up and running. Still shooting for what I got in June at 22-23 MPG out of the 541.
