gas mileage and Viper

Catwood · Oct 22, 2009

Is usually not a topic of concern but...

I finally filled my tank from my return trip to Laguna Seca a couple of weeks ago.

I had cruised home at 70-80 MPH for the most part.

Today's calculation was 25.73 MPG. That's the best, BY FAR, of anything I currently own.

:drive:

it's that .50 OD working for ya

Big Al · Oct 22, 2009

I have been getting 19 to 20 Imperial mpg. With my 04 SRT vert. and I rarely if ever put it into 6 gear. This is in town and secondary highway average, perhaps I do not driver agressively enough.

mjorgensen Woodhouse · Oct 22, 2009

I get about 2.7 ... at the track :lmao:

don't know why I keep track there but no place else.

ViperGeorge · Oct 22, 2009

I was getting 27 on the highway in my 03 but only 24 in my 08.

Bandit3 · Oct 22, 2009

Was getting 28 MPG highway with my 95. Bellangers, no cats 3 inch pipes and 3:55 gears. People couldn't believe it.

viperjim · Oct 22, 2009

I know I went thru a 1/4 tank in 8 runs at the drag strip.

Achilles99 · Oct 22, 2009

I burn 7 gallons each 20 minute session at the track. I'm going to start tracking gpm (gallons per mile).

Catwood · Oct 22, 2009

I got 5 at Willowsprings in my GTS. 7 with the '09 at Coronado track.

usually about 13 around town. that's the first long trip I took...won't be the last I suspect.

CCBrian · Oct 22, 2009

I get 3 mpg at the track- in my Comp Coupe. Of course fuel is $6-7 dollars a gallon.

uhhhhh can I get a ride with you...? :lmao:

I get about 6mpg at the track, I need to get my right foot more planted haha

Slypopsracing · Oct 23, 2009

I own a Toyota Yaris that gets great mileage. A year ago I was putting gas in the 70 Challenger and a gentleman asked what mpg it got. I told him "really wasn't sure, but loved each dollar put in because it would be so much fun to drive out" :drive:

Chuck 98 RT/10 · Oct 23, 2009

About a gallon per lap at Sebring. 3.7 miles.

SilveRT8 · Oct 23, 2009

I get a lot of smiles per gallon with mine

Bill Pemberton Woodhouse · Oct 23, 2009

Seem to get about 20mpg on the highway at around 85 mph. I guess that feels pretty reasonable for me, ha!

mjorgensen Woodhouse · Oct 23, 2009

LOL come on down for the Woodhouse track day next year and I would love to take you around

kcobean · Oct 23, 2009

I got 24 MPG in my 01 ACR on the way to Detroit last year....I'm sure it would have been better if we drove the speed limit, but...well....we didn't.

Those are events I want to make an effort to get to next year :2tu:

Hey, I don't know about you, but the gas pedal on my Viper is binary.

I bet you are stunned that I actually GET THAT JOKE !!!!!

Tony2 · Oct 23, 2009

I dont even bother calculating, with the Viper and the Motorhome I just fill up when need be and drive on down the road smiling!!

On my truck I wouldnt know either, other than it calculates it for me so I do look at it from time to time.

LOL...no, not one little bit. You know what they say.....there are 10 kinds of people that understand binary. Those that do, and those that don't.

EllowViper · Oct 23, 2009

I got a whopping 17 mpg per tank on my 1600 mike trip this week...thought it would be higher seeing as I wasn't into the boost very much. Typical is 10-11 for me so I guess 17 isn't bad...

viperbilliam · Oct 24, 2009

I think it's tough to get good mileage out of the Viper - over 20 mpg. I can do it but it's too boring and time wasted not enjoying the car for what it is. I've gotten 24+, especially when looking for a gas station on fumes.
