[V8] V8 MPG actual

[bblake1055 at aol.com]

The 1991 V8?that Keith polished and ported and coated the headers gets 21-22 MPG mixed highway and City (70% highway)? Computer says 24-25 but it is always about 2-3 MPG off.

The 1993 4.2 5 spd gets about 18 (computer says 21)

Believe it or not, my 1990 V8 that I used to have actually consistantly got 26 - 
28 MPG.  It was mostly highway driving, but still, I used to be amazed at it.  

 

Really miss that car, but, oh well.........
