City Hunter Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 not a datsun, but I average 23mpg with my colt and I drive it the same every time, so I guess it depends on the gas. up in blaine with no ethanol, I couldnt get less than 29-32mpg. Just goes to show how shity the e10 blend is. It's a 1.6l carbed sohc 4 speed with 3.9 in the back Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 My 710 gives me about 23 MPG. The car needs a cylinder head /valve job. With that taken care of, I think it would go up to 35. It runs fine, but the iddle is a little lumpy. My vacuum gage's ( I have a Vac gauge connected all the time, the best way to maximize MPG ) needle is jumpy, that is indication of valve/spring trouble. That will hinder efficiency. I will take care of it later on, after his brother, the 610 comes out from the stable. That said, I think it can give me more miles per gallon. Everytime I fill up the tank it fills up with about 10 gallons. My book shows in the capacities chart that the gas tank has a capacity of 13.25 gallons. Perhaps the only way to figure the actual mileage with the current engine condition is to drive untill it stops ( having a gallon of gas in a gas can in the trunk as insurance, as soon as the needles shows real low, I should fill the can and wait.) and then fill it up immedialtely ( taking the added gallon into account.) That will tell me the real mileage, plus the usable gas capacity , because I am sure there is a small portion that could not be used/sucked into the carburetor.

DRIVEN Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Finally blew up the A15. Post-mortum compression reading ranged from a low of 10 to a high of 105. 2 hours later the A12 was back in place and purring. MPG is now back in the 40ish area. It also doesn't need a quart of oil every 100 miles. Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My mileage while I was home was pretty bad. I admittedly had my foot in it pretty much 100%.. Quote Link to comment
jetdoc1971 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 32/36 Weber now , 2" pipe with a 60 series flowmaster , made a 800 mile trip to MO to the Red Power Roundup. If I kept the waggin under 70 it would get 30mpg , 75-85mph it would drop to 26mpg. Other than having to whack the starter everytime I shut it off it was a good trip. Quote Link to comment

blownb310 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I am enjoying this thread guys, Just wanted to mention that there are different sized gallons used in different countries. Keep this in mind when comparing mpg's. :) Mike Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 My LS1 V8 Powered 240Z averaged 31MPG on a 1800 mile road trip last year. Cruising speed averaged 75-85MPH. In sixth gear, it turns 1800rpms at 80MPH. My L20B/SU's/ Dogleg 5 speed 2 door 510 get 26-27 MPG at average speeds of 65-75. My stock L16/Auto 2 door 510 gets 22-23 MPG at average speeds of 65-75.
