Okay, well what this tells me is that since the majority of my driving is in town I will get probably 18 or less. In fact, my weekly commute to and from work is less than 13 miles. So, I'd be burning about a gallon a day. That's not too bad I don't think.
For me its not about not being able to afford the car. I'm an accountant and by nature I am overly careful with how my wife and I spend our money. So, I'm making sure I accurately understand the issues (fuel, insurance, maint.) before I purchase a newer car. I saw on here that someone listed that they were running 93 octane gasoline....if I only plan on driving the car and keeping my mods N/A (street action not track) would I need 93 Octane fuel? I know that if I am boosted I would want it to slow the explosion speed and have a better burning fuel, but for N/A it doesn't seem necessary. But, I'm not sure. I bet my v6 gets less than 20 in town. Because I only get about 240ish to the tank in town right now. So, that is: 240 / 14 (gallons) = 17 and change. I say only 14 because I refuel with the fuel light comes on. So, I still have 2 gallons left at that point. What do you guys think? |

Granted I drive my v6 like I stole the thing. Not all the time, but it takes a lot more romping on the gas to feel a live in that car. Meaning, quick burst of acceleration, rpm flair, and exhaust tone. I suspect that I would actually drive more restrained with the GT when in town because it would be much easier to get a nice rich exhaust one without laying on the gas. That is what I really want.
Also, not driving like I stole my car would be a plus too. |
