Yikes. And I complain about my gas mileage. I get about 20-22 mpg and it's a 16.9 gallon tank....and it takes 87. lol I'm just cheap!

I get 18 in the 540 combined and 21 in the m3. I can't complain compared to the rv which gets a solid 7. And considering how I drive the M3 and the 540 I have a feeling a domestic would do a lot worse. My friend once owned an 04 STi. He managed to get 6 mpg one tank and near 30 mpg the next. Gotta love a car that lets you choose.

yeah, but, everytime i think of selling it, i end up needing it. weather its to tow a trailer, help someone move, or when the weather turns to utter ****.

but, as soon as all the salt is washed off the road, i'm going to be driving the mugen alot more. that thing gets 32+

grimm · 03-02-2011, 05:18 PM

yup, 5.9L

its the R/T model, so it's a AWD setup, which i can lock into 4 high or 4 low, but never into 2wd.

and right now it sounds, beefier, because i snapped the tail pipe section off my exhaust. so it dumps right out of the muffler in the middle of the suv.

DPancoast · 03-02-2011, 06:54 PM

I get like 13mpg in the jeep. Needs a tune up tho so hopefully that make it a couple better.

Teg is about 25-28mpg lol. I love ems and/or being able to choose

Ugh had it out with my dad when I got home. Totally didn't need that

**Big_Jim** · 03-02-2011, 06:55 PM

my xB averages 23mpg, and the bronco i'm lucky if i get 12mpg.

DownforceTom · 03-02-2011, 07:23 PM

I average about 1 highway, 0 city. But that's worth it for all the cool sounds it makes & the disapproving looks from hybrid owners.

sleeperSL2 · 03-02-2011, 07:24 PM

i get about 33-34 in my fusion

I'm going to get a BMW 850ci 12 cylinder and drive around playing Dennis Leary's 'Asshole' Besides, hybrid owners don't have **** on my motorcycle. That gets north of 40mpg at 100+.

**Big_Jim** · 03-02-2011, 07:38 PM

i should run my bronco open header and see what thats like. lol

The 91 octane tune and intake added about 15 peak HP at the wheels on my '08 and power everywhere.

If I set the cruise at 75 on the highway, I can get about 375 miles on a tank with the 3.55 gears I have.

I'm guessing it would be loud as hell. Whats in it, a 351?

**Big_Jim** · 03-02-2011, 07:47 PM

it has the 5.0, not the 5.8

lownslow95 · 03-02-2011, 07:51 PM

Either way, probably still loud.

Oakes · 03-02-2011, 08:08 PM

If I put it in cruise and behave on the turnpike the Fusion cranks out around 36-38mpg from 65-75mph.

If I'm punching it and not givin a ****, 22-23.

Pays off to be slow!

The Benz....I'd rather not say. Good thing I only drive it never!

DPancoast · 03-02-2011, 08:39 PM

thats because someone drives it for you and you dont pay for gas
