Default Stalled guys whats your mpg?

i know mine absolutely sucks in the city, when i mean bad i mean single digits...but it is pretty much the same as stock on the highway, cloes to 30...unfortunately in Va beach all the speed limits are under 50 so my daily commute is unlocked...

Well you could lower your lock point at part throttle and that would help some but I imagine your milage at low speeds unlocked particulary if its a loose converter would be pretty bad .

15-17mpg with a Vig 3200. My commute is 4 miles each way, so my car never even gets to closed loop. I've disabled 3rd gear lockup, and 4th gear lockup is at 35Mph like I told Magnet.

16-20mpg depending on traffic with the mods in my sig. Worse latley because its been brutally cold here with morning temps hovering around 0*F and it takes a long time to get warmed up. If you are not going highway speeds use D or 3 instead of OD. it will lockup at a lower rpm. I hated daily driving my fuddle 3400.. it was super loose much happier with the vig I have now.

mine's about 9 mpg, and I run 6.50 a gallon gas LOL. OH, on the highway, it's still 9 mph


Talk to me about why I don't drive my car every day. But, it sure does feel good when I do, can't get traction on the street at anything less then about 80 mph if I punch it.

(Turbo 400 tranny, 4.10 gear, 6000 converter, 402CI)

that's what it flashes to on the street.. I floor the car, it goes strait to 6000! Might be because of tire spin.. but that's what it does. When driving around.. the car really doesn't even move until the motor's up to about 2200 or so, that's about when it starts to move driving away from a stop sign, light, etc. Punch it, strait to 6000 it goes

Man if your living in VA beach, then you need to get another car to be your dd. I stayed in Norfolk for about a 4 months, and just about everyday I went to the Oceanfront and the traffic is like hell there. It might have been because it was the summer, but still.
