daytona got 28ish bone stock on the highway. my duster used to get 30 and up on the highway but it had no cat, a udp and a fidanza flywheel. both 3.0 5spds.

according to my two button traveler I get 27mpg average on the highway when doing 75MPH. I can get the average down to 17MPG when driving it a little harder in the city. This is for my '89 Spirit ES A604 with 212,000 KM (130.000 miles)

p.s. Anyone know how accurate the travelers are as far as calculating mileage?

Travelers are normally very bad. The one in my Lebaron claims 36mpg average and the car normally gets around 29mpg average (2.5 turbo). It was even messing up before all the performance parts too. The Duster normally averages about 27 with half and half driving, with straight highway driving I get about 31-32mpg.

Highway cruisin around 60mph gives me over 30, cruisin around the city with a heavy foot gives me about 17-18. If I granny it around town it's about 22mpg average.

are there any good MPG gauges?

**crazyace** · 09-26-2006, 07:11 PM

About the only good option is to get a good old vacuum gauge and keep the reading as high as possible. I know of no gauge that can tell you accurately exactly what mileage you are getting though.
