warwgn3 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Well, I'm just putting in a word that I arrived back from my trip safely. I had lots of fun with my station wagon friends in Hell MI. The Lumina ran awesomely. Way better than I expected. it got about 26 mpg while driving at 100km/h (62mph) in "reg. D" @ 3,000 rpm while pulling the 600lb camper plus my gear. On the way home, I went 540Kms (335 miles) from Hell MI to Whitby ON, on one tank of gas. The entire trip was 915Kms (570 miles), and I only used 1-1/3 tank. Other than a slight overheating scare on the I-94 parking lot, (I put the heater on full to bring the temp guage back down), and using my CB to tell a couple of truckers to GTFOMA, the ride was very smooth and relaxing.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wow that's good gas mileage! Almost makes my 3100 jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I get 26 around town But not towing at 3k RPM... Good to hear you made it back, and your car in one piece. I still love the mirrors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wow that's good gas mileage! Almost makes my 3100 jealous! Damn, your car must be really bad. My Regal can pull about 37 Mpg on the highway, and I usually got about 28 - 29 all around. The cutlass, well, I get about 22 - 25, depending on how hard I drive it, and it will pull about 34 on the highway. Same with our 97 lumina the best we ever pulled was 40 MPG highway. BTW: Glad to hear that it all worked out on your trip. Now if only i could get a picture of the 92 Lesabre with a flatdeck hauling a mustang II that I drove...

Paul79UF Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 that's awesome mileage for towing.... with my 900lb motorcycle trailer and 380lb sportbike attached to my GTP, I only get 11-13mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
