Alright for all you modded LLT guys. I'm in a 5th gen group on Facebook. The other day people were posting that they were getting 30+ mpg. I haven't seen that since I first got my car. I am now getting 18 and I don't drive my car hard at all.
Mods:
Injen long ram intake
Both intake manifold spacers
BBK long tubes with cats
Magnaflow res x pipe
Mrt 1

What are y'all getting with similar mods. I may demod my car to get them back. This sucks. There is cammed v8s getting better than this

Did you use the computer readout or fill it/drive it/fill it and crunch numbers to check? Mods can throw off MPG readouts on the computer, right?

Splitter · 07-27-2014, 03:50 PM

Spacers might be throwing it off?

c_cook94 · 07-27-2014, 06:39 PM

The DIC and actually doing the math out right is always close with each other.

I guess taking them off is a start. I think it's the headers though.

It runs super rich as all of these do but I feel if I had a good tune it would help out a lot.

DSX_Camaro · 07-27-2014, 06:55 PM

You need a good tune, yes. Wheels make a difference, too.

Jfoster · 07-27-2014, 07:18 PM

We don't have the mods, but if your out on a flat road doing 60 mph and reset the mpg you should see 30 mpg without stopping. To avg 30 mpg isn't realistic. We live in rural La. and see a few stop signs and usually one traffic light and avg 23-24 mpg.

Desertion · 07-27-2014, 07:25 PM

City and highway miles are a big difference, reset it drive 65 on the highway and you'll have 30+ too.

RubyCamaro · 07-27-2014, 07:57 PM

Ruby is getting 24.2 according to the DIC. I have not thought about it for a long time & so it has not been reset for a long time. So this includes all kinds of driving; highway, urban, interstate, long country cruises, very spirited driving, drag racing, you name it. Ruby's current mods are CAI intake with Apex washer bottle relocation kit & scoop, Black Iceolator, Borla exhaust, ported throttle body, so not that different from you. Your MPG does not sound right to me but I have no idea what would cause that. It does seem like there is a wide variation in the MPG's folks get. How often do you reset your DIC (No DIC jokes either guys).

c_cook94 · 07-27-2014, 07:59 PM

DSX true, I am running 275 on all 4 corners, which is a little over 1" wider than what came from the factory 245s

I'll try the 60-65mph thing and see what it reads

VOLmanTN · 07-28-2014, 03:12 PM

Im getting 19.5 in my automatic.

rtcat600man · 07-29-2014, 08:32 PM

These are always my favorite threads. Check my signature for all my mods.

Here are some of my MPG's numbers.

I reset everything at every fill up and have every fill up recorded too.

KROLIS · 07-31-2014, 09:04 PM
