Everyone knows I have a Kb 2.2, but I did some traveling this weekend and did some studies.

190 mile trip. Drove 75-85 the whole way......20.8 mpg

return trip
190 miles. Never went over 70, plus drafted behind an 18 wheeler for 40 miles....24 mpg

I think thats pretty amazing.

Very Nice, that's the beauty of these Cobras. The ability to produce 600+ rwhp as an everyday car and get 20+mpg. Holding it at a nice steady 70mph, 24mpg, hek i'd be extatic about that in a 670+ flywheel horse machine.

My last interstate trip I checked mine too....20.4mpg running 75-80 ; not close to your HP #s though (measly 478 here). But I have noticed on other trips 65-70 mph mileage does go up some.

Gotta love these cars. :rockon:

Sweet thanks for the list, I'm still doing some research. Here's another question, what octane rating? 93 or higher. I think Razr uses Torco.

Aww man. The whole trip was 320 miles each way. From Minneapolis to Milwaukee. Both trips at night. I would cringe everytime I saw a moth come my way. I havent been able to wash my car because it has rained everyday since I have been back to Minneapolis. I do have a shield in front of my heat exchanger thankfully!
And I am runng DR's too :( They are virgins though. Never been burned.
