Psych0matt Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm just curious. I never had my old one long enough to get a good idea on it, but I'm toying with the idea of looking for one for a (mostly) daily driver. Just wondering what you guys see. I'll be mostly highway, 15 mile commute, about 14 of that is highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 not as good as you may like to pay for, but a heavy car takes a good amount of fuel to move. because driving around you will want to be using boost lots. turbo cars are the most efficient if you give them the fuel they need to make the power when you want it. then you end up doing lots of coasting and braking but its worth it. its all how you drive the car too. its a gentleman's muscle car so you get what you expect, or what your foot puts down.

mfewtrail Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I removed all the non-TGP mileage listings. Here's an old post from the TGPForums where a few people chimed in about mileage. http://www.tgpforums.com/index.php?topic=5445.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 My bad, I didn't even notice that this was in the TGP section!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Last year I was getting 10mpg out of mine. Granted it has a ton of things working against it... hopefully this year it should be way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 You also had leaking injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 My TGP gets 23/24 driving nice, mostly hwy. Key is staying out of the boost, which is hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo v-sick Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 32mpg highway on the 5 speed tgp and 26mpg highway on the auto 89 tgp. Thats with design III 36lb injectors and a walboro pump... The harder you drive the the quicker these numbers decrease.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 hmmm, alright. Sounds like what I'm getting in the sedan, or there abouts at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted To Boost Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I got about 23 MPG all highway driving my TGP nice. I think something was wrong with it though.... then it died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
