Title: Turbo Pinto gas mileage
Post by: 1975 pinto on July 02, 2008, 06:06:34 PM
One average what is the gas mileage of a turbo pinto(I know their are many variables that affect it), just crusing around town and on the highway?

I am getting about 23 to 25 around town with 3.00 rearend.  I am planning on putting 3.73s in it which will probably decrease it.  One big factor though is I have a hard time keeping my foot out of it.  But I built it to go fast :fastcar:
