 My 90 sammy with small tires gets right at 28 absolutely stock with a spring over. Haven't had had the money for tires yet.

I'm here in Florida and I've never gotten too close to what the manufacturers rate vehicles at... I've always gotten more. Maybe because I don't use the skinny pedal a lot on the roads (cruise is my best friend) --- and maybe because it's flat as all sin. I could see someone who's good with a stick with a well-tuned engine getting 35-40 MPG out of a Samurai, but only in fairly flat areas.

   He must be getting those extra MPG's out of the oil he says it's burning.  :P

I think I asked this before, but I have being averaging about 420KM a tank. What would that put my MPG at?
Thanks,

I saw this Sammy for sale on ebay it says it gets 45 mpg!


My neighbor claimed he was getting 60+ MPG. When his daughter started driving it, she found it was getting around 22.

It turns out he was towing it behind his motor home. <g>

Nope... he was towing the car w/ the rear wheels on the ground... some times on the trailer.

He couldn't figure out what was going on. He was real proud of his car... 142+ K miles on the odometer & the engine was "running like new." (I figure it probably had close to 50K on the engine.)

He was accusing his daughter of being heavy footed. <g> Naturally, I told him he shouldn't abuse the car like this... should sell it to me. It didn't work.

I converted your km to miles and divded it by 10.6 (gas tank size for Sammy) and came up with 24 mpg.

If I remember correctly, Steveo's driving a 4 door kick, which has like a 13 gallon tank, doesn't it?
