Just my two bits. The Purple People Eater got 32 MPG on a trip from Fargo ND to Lake Elkhart WI. and back. Engine B20, street torque cam, Weber DGV, hot water to the maniford. 185 deg. thermostat, Perlux, low compression head gasket, working vacuum retard, late B20 exhaust maniforld, cheap turbo muffler, Ford resonater. OD with 4.56 and 215/70/15. It runs about 3500RPM at 75mph. This is about MPG this car has a gotten for the last 6 years.
Curent project is a 145E with a T5 out of a turbo T-bird, and 4.10s and 195/60/15. Hope it's MPG to be close? After that is a 122 two door with no OD and some late rear axel 3.25-3.50? B20E with street torque cam, DVG, with the 240 B20 gear box.
Hope to meet East Coast Volvo fans at Getttsburg. Ask me for the MPG on this trip.
