Anyone daily drive their Term? MPG

[88sc_gt]

im closer then ever to getting a terminator again, ive got one thing im kinda concerned over. ill be buying it as a daily driver, i work 5 miles away.

what kinda mileage are you getting? i know there rated 16/22, i never calibrated mine. i know it was bad with how i drove it, but anyone who somewhat daily drives it and doesnt just take it out to hammer it, how does it do?

Sucks either way there is nothing you can do about it. Just enjoy your time spent in it.

They get very decent mileage, all things considered, IF ( and it's a BIG IF) you keep your foot out of them.

I've gotten 25MPG on several long road trips, no problem.

You're driving 5 miles away and you're concerned about gas mileage. :lol: I drive 25 miles each way to work and I get 13-15 in the mornings because of all the stop and go traffic. When I head home on the highway its about 16 - 18. I've never seen better than 19-20 on the highway. And that was without going into boost. I seriously don't know how guys get over 22 on the highway. :shrug:

I Drive it daily, I avg 12mpg,I have a heavy foot.

I have a 15 mile commute and no matter what I do I always average around 18. Also, I'm in boost whenever I can

Exactly, I just shake my head when anyone says 25 mpg & above...:nonono:

thanks for the input..

yea im worried about gas to an extent, i do drive more then just to work and back. my girlfriend hates drivin cause she has a fullsize truck, so i drive alot of the time. the little trips to get ice cream and whatnot in my 30 mpg city kia, will start hurting lol.

just considering all aspects.. when i had my cobra all of like 18 months ago, gas was about half what it is now.. so i didnt pay attention to gas much.

I used to drive mine every day and got ~18mpg. I'd say my commute was 50/50 city/hwy driving, about 20 miles round trip to go to work.

Used to average about 16, with a as usual heavy foot. Seems to have decreased somewhat with the pulley and tune.

I would get about 16mpg on the "highway" following Corey through the backroads on the east side doing anywhere from 60-90mph in 3rd-4th gear the whole way + some city driving. I got as much as 23 driving around the Olympic Peninsula at 80 mph in 6th for the whole tank of gas. :shrug:

 

[CharlieCobra03]

I averaged 22 MPG, driving from Big Lake to Redmond daily and boosting often, even as modded as mine was.

im paying off some bills tomorrow, saves me a good amount of $ per month.. moves the car into a more comfortable zone.

im just waiting for the right one..

I get about 12mpg average now since the 60# and the pulleys went on. I daily drive mine from work (about 15 miles round trip) and up to Tacoma a lot on the weekends. It does much better of course on the highway probably seeing 18mpg.
