21 MPG City/Hwy

[Rider90]

Who holds the record?? I did 21 MPG / approx. 50% city (0-45MPH) and 50% highway (60-80MPH) on this last tank. 355 miles, 16.8 Gallon fill-up. This was without the Diablosport Predator installed (I had to update it's software) and the stock 3.55's are in. Basically a stock MM with a K&N CAI.

:woohoo:

Very nice. I get 21.5 with my beast (pictured below) with a MM filter and lower MM box.

Yeah it feels like driving with an egg between the pedal and your foot. I don't know how much longer I can do that, especially with the weather getting nicer :burnout:

I once got 22.3 mpg but rarely even check or bother anymore 'cause I am rarely in the fuel efficient driving mode when I am behind the wheel of the Marauder. :rolleyes:

I got 21.4 (?) on a 100 mpile trip from BigBats to home. I filled up there and again filled up when I got back in town. That was before the S/C... On the 9th, I'll leave on a full tank and fill up when I get in and see the difference.

Hi Rider,

I live in the Chgo metro area as well and got 20.2 in mostly city driving last tank. Maybe they're switching over to summer gas since I was only getting 16 mpg a month ago.

13.8 mpg city (0-60mph) and I loved every bit of it...... :)

Talk to SoulRiot, you'll understand why my mpg is so low........http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/images/smilies/burnout.gif

12-13 every tank full. Still beats the 442 and the Suburban

I've averaged just a bit over 21mpg, since the day I bought the car. I do about 70% highway, and lots of quick starts, when in the city...

Never checked the city mileage but got 24 MPG on a long distance trip.(75 MPH , appprox. 2200 RPM)

Drove 7914 miles across America and back, August - September of 03, bone stock 03 300B. Averaged 24.7 for that trip. Around town I barely crack 13 or 14, but I also drive it for fun around home. The Crown does way better all around, have gotten 27+ on 1K or longer trips.

Just completed a trip from the Motor City to the Twin Cities and back, and I averaged 23.9 for the trip, including a lot of city driving and multiple hours of stop and go around the Windy City.

By the way, I did not see a single other Marauder in any other part of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin or Minnesota. The weather was gorgeous (until those tornados ripped through Wisconsin, we were about an hour ahead of them thank goodness!) Does everyone store them, or what?

I know you won't belive this, but I once got 30 MPG on a trip. It was about 60 deg. outside, so I didn't run the AC, I never went over 65 and had a smooth road all the way. It amazed me, but its possible. When I drive it normal (heavy foot) I get around 20 MPG.

I have logged every tank since I got my Marauder and it averages 21 to 22 most of the time. On longer treks at speeds averaging 75 to 85 I have gotten as much as 24.7. Must be approaching the top of the mileage curve with those speeds and fairly steady highway driving. Mine is stock with 22K miles.
