Well my 68 RT  4 speed is in storage, I just went over my expenses for the year and found out my gas was the most!  I put 1700 miles on her and my gas bills totaled $710.00 its easy to keep track, that's the only time I use super,  7.2 miles a gallon,thats about a dollar for every thumbs up, or for every person who stops and says hi, or all the cops heads that you turn, but still havn't been flashed ( thats another topic) can't wait for next year!

At $3 a gallon my math puts you at 7.2 mpg.?..??   :shruggy:

Yes your right, no wonder I have 5 bucks left!

my 440 gets 6 mpg. and i love driving it in boulder. where every tree hugger drives a prius. i thank them for leaving more gas to burn. lol.  dont care about the mileage. it is worth every penny just to drive my charger. it cost me around 30 bucks to go for a drive.  money well spent.

Although the Chargers actual mileage may be a lot less than other cars around our place, the payback in enjoyment per mile is so much larger that it negates the other.

I was tracking mine for a while....never really "filled up" this year except in October....

 These cars are not about the MPG.  :slap: So, who cares  :icon_smile_big:

18.5 mpg avg on 2010 Ford Flex

I'm usually in a hurry getting the kids wherever they need to go....plus idling at drive thru's :icon_smile_wink:

chargermike

thats what i say.  i dont care about the mileage. my car has two big four barrel carbs and big pistons . so was built for poor mileage.  but not a daily driver anyway.  i will post pictures  of my charger when i figure out how to. not a computer guy. so takes me a while.  to the guy who went to boulder high where do you live now.

Sorry for Hi-Jack :'(  It's about muscle cars ....unable to delete. :bow:

I actually get a little under 8MPG averaging 135mph. I have never calculated regular driving, but off-hand it's about the same.

My 73  averages about 14 mpg. Slightly better than my 04 Ram. I have an OD trans and live in the country, so alot of road miles help.

An MPG thread.

I got around 9 with a hacked carb and broke converter. With all that sorted now I expect it to go down.

My 67 Charger gets around 17-18 and around 12 in the city.  That is a 383 4bbl with 2.94 rear.
My 99 Ram, 1500 gets about the same and that is with a 360 and OD.
My wife gets around 30-32 with her 03 Stratus R/T with a 3.0.

I get between 12-14 mpg, with a tired 440 auto with 2.94 rear. I know that once I get the engine rebuilt that the mpg will get worse, but thats OK with me.

Very surprised my 500 stroker got around 15 going 65/70 coming home from the Hot Rod Power Tour.  :2thumbs:  The 5 speed helped a lot!

I don't worry about gas mileage with my 71 RT

doctor4766

Meh, who cares how many miles you can get?
It's not like most of us drive them every day anyway so mileage often isn't an issue.









My daily driver HiLux however is a different story.
I get real pissed off if I don't make 400km per tank.
That uses more than the LS1 ute I traded in for it.
Gotta love a '69

My 71 Superbee is way to much fun to drive to worry about gas mileage.
