Anyone with a 87/88 Turbo Coupe what yall getting in gas mileage If your stock let me no or if you have any motor mods let me know to cause I have some motor mods and I have never driven mine and I am curiouse on what the MPG is in a Too Cool Turbo Coupe.
25-30mpg city/hwy, pretty stock.
23-24 mixed in mine.
last highway trip got me 28mpg
I get about 24 mixed driving with a handful of mods.
I blew a headgasket, drove the car 220 miles on the blown headgasket, fixed it, then drove another 120 miles, and still averaged 22mpg.
So I should see bout 22 to 23 city what bout HWY.
expect 18-24 city
25+ freeway with stock gears
I found that the original EPA ratings pretty accurate, esp for urban driving. There's a lot of lead in that ass to haul around town.
The very worst mileage I saw (with a proper tune) was about 12 mpg, the best mileage I saw (on the return trip, no less) was a hair over 30 mpg.
I think the 87-88s can do a little better. The trick with any EEC-equipped car is to stay in closed loop.
Im not getting very good mileage. Maybe 20 combined. I got better in my 3.8l 1988.
what do u mean combined you running regluar and jigh octane gas mix or something.
:shakeass:
Are you seriously asking this?
Combined mileage means a COMBINATION of city and highway driving....
Well I was just seen if thats what it was or if is was cause he was mixing octane levels cause I use to mix octanes in my saturn when I had stock injectors and it helped so I didn't know which one it was.
I should have been more clear. and to be honest, I drive 30-40 miles to school every other day, hte turbo might spool up once that whole trip on the one very large incline i have to go up and my mileage still sucks. I drive it easier than my 3.8l v6 and it gets worse mileage.
I cant wait to get rid of this car.
Man I would neaver get rid of my TC and the said part is my mom wants me to but I not going to.
Well then something is wrong with your car. Theres no reason it shouldnt be getting more than that.
Of the 12 or so 87-88 Turbo Coupes I have owned in the last 15 years, all of the 5 speed ones got 30 mpg and the automatics got 25 mpg. No mods.
Sounds good.
I always get 28-30 highway.
-turned 28mpg on my last tank.....
Sweetness. Thanks guys.
