Best Datsun for MPG?

[coladylan]

Im looking for a high gas mileage vehicle. What Datsun gets the best gas mileage? Can be newer or older, a truck or a car. I really like the 620's, but dont know how good of gas mileage they get. So feel free to let me know with your top Datsun pick for MPG.

Thanks,

Dylan

my first 510 with a stock L16 and stock carb got about 35mpg cruising with a 280zx 5-speed ......... it couldn't make it up a steep hill though ....... :lol:

 

 

......... I bet a smooth running KA24DE would get 30mpg if you keep an egg between your foot and the gas-pedal ....... :lol:

My KA24DE 510 gives me 35mpg. My cousin's 4 door SR20 510 gives him 33mpg. Gotta love that! :lol:

I get 24 mpg in the L20B with 200sx EFI, but that's crusing at 4000 rpm. Short gearing. (Dogleg and 4.11s.)

I've gotten as high as 35 in both cars (78 510 Dogleg) and trucks ('76 620 KC with L18 and 280ZX 5-speed). But the circumstances- 50-60 mile commutes one way, and a very light right foot, means it's not always attainable.

I can't keep mine bellow 6k and I still average 35mpg with my automatic b210 a14 bone stock. A 1200 will get awsum mpg. Add a 5speed and weber drive it light and youll see 45 on the highway

My '76 B-210 got 53MPG on one tank on the prairies, the rest were all in the 40s. At home average33 to 35 mixed driving. Only once or twice was able to force it into the 20s. It was just way too much work to drive it that hard for a whole tank full.

I actually got 11 miles to a gallon in a 521 Truck with a L-16, and a four speed.

I was pulling an empty two horse trailer down the Columbia gorge, and the wind was blowing strongly up the Columbia gorge. Second gear, about 5,000 RPM, well into the secondary of the carb.

 

For the best gas mileage, B-210, or 1200. Make sure it has good compression, and valves, or just plan on freshing up the engine.

I have gotten 33mpg in the 521 stock 4spd on non ethonal gas.

 

Can't wait to see what it gets when I put the 5 spd in it :)

5 speeds are better for commuting but if you are just driving it around town 4 will do fine. i get around 30 to 35 with my automatic a14 b210, my carb is a piece of crap, it would probably do better if i replaced it

I get really crummy MPG like not even close to what you guys are getting. But I do alot of grocery run type driving as I car pool to work.
