MPG, what's yours? Options

[frosty]

I just got done testing my mpg thinking it might be crappy since I read the 5s-fe runs rich and plus with the car being 'round 12 years old, but I was joyfully surprised to see I'm running 29+mpg city. (with ac running sometimes and having a heavy foot)

Just something to make me love my car alittle more, since I expected 24-.

I'm curiouse though since I want to either add a turbo or swap to a 2nd gen 3sgte as to what my mpg would turn out to be.

Who on here with either a 5s-fte or a 3s-gte swap (or the very few who have a 5s-gte) checked your mpg?


Just really curious.

(even if you don't have one of these set-ups you can still post your mpg )

i personally do not believe many of you hat say anything over 33-34. that is a crazy amount. I dont see how it is possible. You must be doing calculations wrong. If im wrong im sorry but it seems unlikely

I think mine is approx 27-28MPG

I think part of the reason is people are calculating with 13 gallon tanks. I filled up when my tank was only at it's half way mark and it took rouphly 7.5 gallons to fill, so since the needle was JUST below the the half way point, the tank is at least 14/14.5 gallons (at least with my vert) but I doubt it would be hardly diff at all in other 6th gens. And yes, one gallon can make a significant difference. Do the calculations, you'll see.
