I have taken two long trips in my 92 CC V8.First one was
from Dallas Tx to Lust Wyoming in 94.Only mods then where
K&N MP SBEC and exhaust.Took two days driving up and three
driving back. Gas milage improved on every tank.Had around
30k Miles.First tank was 16mpg, last tank was 22mpg.I drove
70 to 90mph the whole trip.
2nd trip was to Tennesse one month ago to get married.Got
15-17mpg.Lots more mods including 4:10 gears w/o lock-up
torque converter.
