My 23' T-Bucket 10 gallon tank I get about 8-9 MPG but I use 108-112 octane at already 4.00 a gallon. The Prowler gets around 20 MPG.

BeWare Prowler Junkie Posts: 18511 From: Acworth,GA,USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-23-2005 09:02 AM Our 04 Hemi Durango 16 City, 22 Highway 99 Prowler 23 Highway, I have never measured city 05 PT Turbo Convert we have not measured it all yet. When driving the PT and Prowler around town I have a heavy foot. Not so much on the Durango. Even with gas prices I have not yet changed my driving habits much.
TooHipCat Prowler Junkie Posts: 4173 From: Londonderry,NH Registered: MAR 2004	posted 03-23-2005 09:35 AM My commuter car used to be my wife's ride. It's a 1990 Toyota Corolla. I will be giving it a full tune-up this Spring. It just turned 209,000 miles and it gets a minimum of 30 mpg highway as long as you keep it under 75 on the highway. I admire this little car cuz it lets my Cat sleep all Winter. Have a good day everyone! Brian

Ed W. Prowler Junkie Posts: 2622 From: Port Huron, MI USA Registered: JAN 2003	posted 03-25-2005 02:39 PM I liked the note in AUTOWEEK a couple of years ago (while they were testing an Excursion). They noticed an Excursion owner pumping gas wearing a Tee shirt that simply stated...6 million years of dinosaurs laid down their lives so that I could get 8 miles to the gallon. Life.........is good ! This message has been edited by Ed W. on 03-25-2005 at 02:40 PM
