Anyone know what the stock mpg is for the 240, I have to make a trip, and want to try to calculate the gas needed. Or If you know how many miles per tank, and how much a fill-up is in your area, with rought gas prices per gallon, I can calculate it ....

Thanx,Demonic240

I get about 18-19 mpg in city and 22-25 mpg on highway. 95 s14 with boost. Keep in mind these numbers are from 4psi and moderate driving. when boost goes to 7psi and i hit the gas those numbers go out the window.

Alot really depends on how you drive. Do you take off fast from every light? How much are you on the throttle, etc.

And of course your engine condition.

Also depends on where you get your gas. For instance. California gas sucks. Hands down. I like to call it water instead of fuel. My 93' Pontiac Grand AM GT had the high compression 2.3litre 4cyl and i'd get 28mpg on the freeway driving 80-85. But coming back from a trip I got 31.5mpg doing the same speed on cruise, driving from Albequrquee(sp?) NM, to Flagstaff, AZ.

Then once I got cali gas again, it went down the toilet.

well I averaged about 25 mpg highway, but my timing is horribly off, the 240 needs a major tune-up.

The OVA(at least the first one) really shows him as the Manslayer. He's quite different from the one in the show. Far more serious. And violent. Without a concience of course.

Until one fateful night in Kyoto...
