got back around ten. i was keeping track of my gas and milage, lost half of my figures, but i think i averaged 16 MPG. not bad for a 5.7 w/ 130K.

also, since my speedo does not work that well, i always just stayed behind somone, so we were both going the same speed. at one pont i was behind a white honda and i looked down at my speedo and it said 90 MPH Shocked. which means we were close to 108 MPH. i was behind him for about 10 minutes until he exited, made great time back to portland. Very Happy Laughing

I'm suprised you drove the GTA and not the white bird instead.

Do you have a fuel pressure regulator on that GTA, or do you just run it stock?

They've all got fuel pressure regulators.


Or do you mean an adjustable one?

stock fuel pressure regulator. i drove the GTA because the white bird does not have a radio. if the GTA had no radio, no big deal, it sounds bad ass. but the six does not sound bad ass, so it needs music. Smile

Back when mine was a daily driver, I'd average 22 with my 5.7 (w/ 210k). It's no longer a daily driver so I don't fill it up anymore, which makes it much harder to track the milage. I have no reason to believe it's any different, though.
