Summer is almost over in Sweden and now I'll take the opportunity to ride so many miles i can with my Chrysler T & C before the winter break. Thought about it, how much petrol does your wagons take. My 69 Chrysler T & C takes about 1.7 ltrs (swedish liters) / 10 km. (6.2 miles) Have a good All...
Ugh! About 12 mpg if I'm coasting downhill with a tail wind. Currently gas is $3.79 a gallon here in Utah.
I've been getting 10 to 12 MPG lately based on GPS mile adjustment. My tire diameter is smaller than stock so the speedometer/odometer reading is off. I've gotten as high as 14 MPG on the highway.
I've got two Hondas for my wife ('05 CRV) and my ('06 Pilot) daily drivers - I don't/won't calc fuel mileage in my wagon. Since I drive my wagon only for play, I don't worry about fuel consumption. Plus, I drive the wagon more "enthusiastically" than the Hondas! The Hondas are boring, but bullet-proof mechanically; both have over 120k miles and run as good as they did on day 1 (bought both new). I did the $1200, 100k service interval on both of them and hope to get another 100k miles out of both. Got to keep those paid-for vehicles so I can fund my wagon habit!
My brother did 11 to 12 l/100 km in his 86 Pontiac Parisienne Safari with the 305, which is about 25 miles to the Imperial gallon. His 86 Colony Park used 7 litres/100 kms, or about 40 miles to the Imperial gallon. Both were a bit high mileage, since the Poncho was scrapped at 640,000 kms when the floor fell out, and the Merc had 750,000 when the body mounts broke.
Just traded off my Civic that only had 26,000 original miles for a 2001 Jeep Wrangler, already feeling the hit from that inline six, but the wife is sooooo happy with the Wrangler I can't complain much. Swapped out title for title and now she can drive on dirt roads. Hondas (ex coupe) not much for ground clearance and no 4 wheel drive, our winters are pretty brutal so the 4x4 will do much better.
Thanks, everything is original on my 69 Chrysler T & C 383. The car was taken to Sweden from Los Angeles 8 years ago. I try the best i can to keep everything in original.
