Gas Mileage
What kind of gas mileage does everyone get? I have only been getting about 13mpg which seems rather low. I use 92 octane gas and occasionally put fuel injector cleaner in it.
The other day a strange thing happened, when I turned the car on a plume of bluish/black smoke came out the exhaust, perhaps this is part of the cause. This only happened once though so I'm rather confused. Oh yeah, my car is a 92 with 72,000 miles on it. Thanks everyone. |

I have no idea! I've taken several long distance trips in the SVX and have averaged 30 mpg at 70 to 75 mph. I dont' have a lead foot though so that may have something to do with it

I drive 63 miles one way to work and I get no more than 25 mpg. So that is 25 MPG with 6 engine and tranny warm-ups. Average is about 75-80 and I am trying it slower. |
