how is it possible? 26mpg freeway driving in 86 gt?!!
i topped my tank off drove 93 miles freeway mostly and topped it off again with 3.25 gallons=26mpg. thats craziness. i mean it runs good but i didnt know this was possible. its a 5speed. anyone else get this kinda milage in a 5.0? i think though its really bad for city driving like 15mpg! but havent calculated it this way yet

I wish I got 26mpg. I get like 9 city and 12 highway, and I still have stock injectors...My motor is basically stock as well. I can watch my gas guage move. I have 3.73s and my speedo is off, which in turn throws my mileage off, and even with the mileage being higher than what it usually is, I cant get more than "200" incorrect miles from a full tank, and in fact its actually lower than that [:@]
