ave mpg 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Al on  Thu Apr 29 10:18 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 87 745T automatic before I moded it for gas mileage got around 27 mpg on the highway with the cruise set at 65 mph. Now after fuel economy mods I have passed 32 mpg. Feel I can get another 1 to 1.5 mpg out of her. The original goal was for 35 mpg but doubt I'll ever get more than 33 - 33.5 mpg. Still searching for more MPG anyway I can get it. With a manual in a 744T I have gotten as high as 29 mpg. I do use a GPS to confirm the speedometer is matching my road speed and distance. After finishing up the mods schedualed for this weekend and the only thing I'll have left is weight reduction. And I figure I can get more off me than the car.
