ok....this is weird
my 86 camaro z28 305lg4,700r,2.73s totally 100% bone stock,emissions compliant,passes with ease....just got 34.2 mpg on the road trip my friend and i took today,32mpg way there and 34 on the way back,cruising a steady 70-75..
anybody else getting anywhere near this? the tc lockup is functional as well :confused: im still baffled by this,if i hadnt pumped the gas myself i wouldnt have beleived it.
im not complaining,but damn...thats insane MPG,btw about 26 city. |

Doesn't 32 one way and 34 the other average out to 33 mpg? 
Let me guess it runs 12's too. 
Also use it tow your Dodge out of the sand? 
Should talk to Gibby about getting an RV cam for the LG4, guarenteed 14 second ride there. 
Good thing you didn't bring that little Dodge back to Cows, it would have been an ugly sight for Dodge lovers everywhere. 
Thats all I have for now.  |

| Who is to say that your speedo isn't off... that maybe you were doing 60mph, but for each mile it added another slice to your odometer..... |

nice,but no.
first thing i do with a new vehicle is check speedo acurracy {since i got pulled over with my first red 82 T/A because the rear gears had been changed and i didnt know}
checked it against my dodge,and my friends 00 monte pace car,as well as the speedo check section on I5 ,its pretty acurate. |
