My last tank on my Cobra was 20.75 mpg commuting with the a/c on. We won't talk about the tank that I used when I was breaking in my clutch and running at LACR. My SVT Focus got in the low 20's on a regular basis and was soooooo slow. Over 20 on the Cobra is pretty damned good IMHO.

Uhm ive never seen 20mph :shrug: I was once lucky @ 16mph.

Other then that its 13 - 15mph cause of the stupid 405 is so damn packed :nonono:

My gas mileage dropped the minute I started using california gas. Out of state, I was getting 29mpg on the freeway...now I get 24mpg on the freeway. I drove my Cobra back from Missouri, so I KNOW that's the gas mileage the car gets.

I normally get 17-18mpg in SF stop and go commute traffic. Best I got was ~24mpg and I was doing 90+mph most of the way too. I probably could've got better but kept getting into boost to pass people.

If you commute the 101 freeway passing SFO we've probably passed each other already.

I don't usually go up around SFO...I only make it up to 92. But everyonce in a while, I'll go past SFO on the way to a friend's. We've probably already crossed paths.

You have seen the traffic on the 405 leaving the Valley and on the
14 going up to LACR. I drive smoothly and take it easy since there is little to be gained from driving aggressively. Even though the Cobra is a heavy dog, it has tall gears and relatively small displacement so if you stay out of boost you can get some really good MPG for such a fast car. Of course, a few high boost excursions can shoot you tank down. I am sure that us old guys with low powered Cobras get better MPG than you young guns with the big HP numbers.
We also post early in the morning when you are still sleeping.
