Probably not. If I babied my car, I could pull 20mpg out of it. I averaged about 17-19. If I really drove it hard, I could get as little as maybe 13-14mpg.

Well right now I'm at the shop waiting, they just got done "fixing" it. Took it around the block and now the whine is the complete opposite. It whines when I give it gas, and stops when I let go. So I turned back around and they're redoing it once again. Third times a charm right?

Finally, after 3 tries they are good. For All AZ people on here, stay away from Arizona Differential.

What did you get before the gears? Im kinda concerned bout mileage

solidhadriel · August 26th, 2011, 07:28 PM

I know I have a slightly different beast, but in my car, I averaged around 28-29 highway, and around 26 city with 2.73s, and after putting my gears in, I averaged about 17-18.

I'm better with my foot now, and I'm somewhere around 21-22 mixed
