What is the secret.......

Between 21, & 28 mpg?? :shocked:
That's unusually low...
Purge valves have been implicated in some of the "low mpg" stories...
it might be worth a look? :dontknow:


Orrrr.... are you simply riding it like you stole it? :thumbup:

This thread kinda reminds me of the Porsche 944 we had when I was stationed in Germany. We were rolling down the Autobahn one day at about 120 MPH, with my wife driving. I turned to her and said, "You know, we'd get better gas mileage if you'd slow down a bit." She gave me one of "those" looks and said, "Are you an idiot or what? Nobody buys a Porsche for good gas mileage." :yikes:

That's kinda the way it is with the Spyder RT. If you were looking for great mileage you chose poorly.

hum i must be still in the break in period.....yes...only 1600 miles....fill ups are usually around 29-31 so far. i get about 145-155mi per tank. I dont hot dog but I dont granny it either.

I wonder though if my rpm's are too low.....i usually have tried to shift around what Bob suggested....but it hasnt' really affected the mileage. The only thing that seems to "boost" mileage is taking the highway most of the time obviously instead of the back roads......

but i'm also fighting the right pull issue...so that might be some of my issue.

You pull the throttle hard and your gas mileage goes down. That's all there is to it. I know as I get lousy mileage unless I'm stuck on a slow road.
