Breaking news! Mook is going to buy a GTP!

[BLUBYU2]

I will give you a call tomorrow. My wifes grandmother has some health issues going on right now. If she is going to be home tomorrow to keep my daughter out of the garage then tomorrow will work. If not, for sure Tuesday.

Sounds good

So realistically if you were to give an answer on the mpg a gtp actually gets you would still pick 30? Because realistically you're wrong, and everyone else that keeps saying they get 30mpg are wrong as well, because they don't. They CAN get 30mpg when they're on the highway with no head wind, going 55-65mph, no traffic, but perfect ideal conditions, but they don't AVERAGE 30mpg. mmmmkay?

It's a pet peeve of mine, sorry

ok, gtp's get 30mpg :tmyk:

I think our cars get fantastic mpg, however, I just hate when someone asks "hey, what does your car get for mpg's" and the first answer is 30+ on the highway, of course it gets great highway mileage, but what about city? We all know they suck in normal stop and go realistic traffic, so why is that not mentioned? It's so CGP to say that, ya know? Realistically they get low 20's, not 30+, unless it's 100% highway driving.

And FWIW, i drove out to phatrides and back (about 100miles) all the way to hangover park to James' house, and all the way to a friends house, etc. Anyways, it was around 180miles of driving total in 1 day 80% of it was cruising at 55-60mph, even though it wasn't empty i filled the tank to see what I averaged... I got 24.6 on E85. BUT i normally average about 11-13mpg.. So me telling people I get 24.6 in IDEAL conditions would be true, but not a realistic answer. Yaknowwhatimsayin?

fucking word.

Sounds good

fucking word.

I get 225 - 250 miles to the tank, mixed driveing town and country (wich is basicly the same as hiway) its around 17mpg average on e85

 

[phat_ridegt]

real racecars get less than 20

the best the riv got on e85 was 17mpg avg over 2 tanks with the 3.48 fdr 80e, 14 avg on 3 tanks with the 3.71 80e

that fucker procrastinates way too much, that shit should have been running months ago

 

[phat_ridegt]

With gas on the highway I average 25-26. The only highway trip I've made with e85 was to lukes and back and got 17.8.

that's probably because you may or may not have been racing a certain cam only car on the highway In Mexico of course...

A good tune on a 3800 car even with crazy heads/cam will still pull high 20s, close to 30 or else they never bothered to tune cruise

fwiw, my 3.69'd rocker/IC setup could still pull high 20s on the highway and thats with me being at like 2500 at 65-70mph

old white car pulled a legit 34mpg the whole way to ohio a couple years back and I was lead car in the caravan for most of the trip

Mine pulls 30-31 consistently on the hwy. At 70ish mph average speed. It did 34 on a 1,000 mile round trip last year.

unless your dbtk and you get 57mpg in town with e85 345#injectors and trap 145 with stock heads/cam and only a timing trick to run 85*
