VIP gas mileage???!!!

hows it goin...i am really looking to getting into the VIP "scene" anyways as EVERYONE knows gas is a BIATCH anyways, what VIP car gets the best gas mileage, and how are you guys holding up with that whole situation? lol

Id guess probably like a GS300 since it has a NA 6 cly.  
 
My car gets crappy gas mileage like 17mpg tops but its also a factory turbo 6 cyl. honestly no VIP car is gonna get very good gas mileage due to the size, weight, and engine size compared to smaller imports

My GS300 gets about 20mpg. 

If you are worried about gas mileage, then you probably don't want to hear the cost of kits, suspensions, rims, etc.

It depends on what car you have now. If you have a SUV this maybe worth while. If you have a honda, this may be to much gas. It all depends on your driving habits and the traffic. I get a constant 19 on fwy/streets (GS430). I've hit about 26mpg before. If you do a lot of fwy driving opposite of traffic I don't see why you couldn't get about 25mpg. I have a friend with a 300 (27 mpg) and 430 (24 mpg).

Drive slow and you'll save gas.

thanks guys...im not worried about the kits and all i just want to know what kind of mileage ill get while i have the kits etc on :D maybe ill go a different route, after checkin out that sonata on the other vehicle section, it leaves me wondering lol plus they get around 30mpg hwy so that sounds nice cause gas isnt gettin any cheaper! haha

it costs to be this fly

I got a lead foot, I get about 12-13 city, but get around 19-20 on the fwy at 80-85 w/ ac on.  Most of my driving is city, but my commute is very short.  If I had a long commute, I'd still keep the car, just get a different ride for commuting in.

This guys is correct FTW!

gotta pay the cost to be the boss

My LS gets like 15mpg and costs just about $90 to fill her up.  These luxury cars are not cheap and not cheap to maintain.  If gas is a big issue for you, go buy a Honda.  Gas should be the last problem on your mind when going VIP.  All the aftermarket parts are expensive, and if you are bitching about gas now  I wouldnt advise going VIP.

previa gets about 20mpg.

thats what i get with my ac on all the time and I have a v8! :smiley-rofl:


did you know that for every 5mph you go over 55 you loose 7% of your optimal gas mileage?


guess who drives 55? :dance:  I get 22mpg highway

VIP = Premium gas.
         V8 or V6 engine.
         $80 to $100 bucks per fillup.
         From 20MPG V6 to 12MPG V8
         From 4 to 5 fillups a month (car payment)...
         Ohhhh gotta roll VIP so windows up air on and 4MPG less.
 
         [SIZE=5][COLOR=red]Grand total is = $VIP...[/COLOR][/SIZE]

haha. Someone buy that tornado shit n let me know if it works. :runcoold: I used to put 100 octane in my 240 n smash all day at $5 a gallon so 19 mpg is great. then again its almost $5 a gallon for 91 anyway. Feel sorry for them Cali heads.

LOL what is it in Vegas now? My girlfriends sister was bitching about how premium was over $4 a gallon! 
 
It's 4.53ish here.

Very true. Sweating with your windows down in traffic is not very vip. Guzzling around town like gas is free is very vip

if you can afford to build it you can afford to drive it.

Not in my case :smiley-rofl:

drivin with mad camber with the AC on blast, which is always, i get around 15mpg.  but i hardly drive freeway

it actually went up a grip. before vegas and sd had at least a 30 cent difference... but now 91 is 4.37-4.49.

People on here are hardly ballers........ [URL]http://vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8319[/URL]
95% of peeps on here should be driving a 4 banger.

[QUOTE=BLACKonBLACK98;174102]if you can afford to build it you can afford to drive it.[/QUOTE]

I can afford to build but not drive it on a daily anymore. I'm a baller on a budget. lol I roll daily in my teggie and take the GS out at night and weekends. 

I fill up about $80, 2-3 times every 2 weeks when I was driving it daily. Needless to say gas was more than my carpayment and insurance combined and then some.

I'm averaging 17-18 in my Y33, gas is $4.64 a gallon at the cheap place near me. Daily drivin, 75-85 on the fly-ways.

my y34 with a vk45 v8 averages about 16 miles per gallon!

i drive a ls400 dnt really pay attention to the gas mileage since gas is 3;95 it aint that bad but what can you do vip costs but at least you know what your rolling up in

If you're willing to give Mercedes a chance, my 98 C230 (with ECU tune) yields around 35 MPG going a constant 75-80 with the AC on!

dats really good for the benz and at the speed u traveling it really good

That sounds about right :wrd:



IN an LS400 I average 20 mpg. Tank fill ups are 80+ now and only gets me about 300 miles.  THat means I go about $50 a week.

after the drop + wheels + aggressive alignment, i'm now getting between 16-18.  i used to get right around 19-20 in my y33 :(

^^LOL 
 
then he can like some of our members who on our forums :smiley-rofl:

if you gotta ask...you cant afford it.

^^ ahah i agree!

when i bought my f50, gas mileage was the last thing i thought about. i get 19mpg, or so my car tells me. if you are really worried about gas mileage, get a xb... vip ish. your not going to have a sleek, sexy, big bodied, luxurious car. but hey its good on gas

somedays i like to walk in my nike's with my shoelace's tied in a fusa knot. KEEPIN IT V! lol

LOL...........

if it gas you are worried about, there is no way you can jump into the vip scene. most of the og platforms are v8 or v6. you gotta pay to play.

Amen to that.
 
My car gets 30-34 highway, 24-26 city, with AC on. That is driving nicely of course. When I start driving the tits off of it, it sees 16 or less. I have a 5 speed, which plays a HUGE part in the good milage. Automatics are parasites. Seeing as most VIP cars dont have manual as a factory option... well, you get the picture.

30mpg highway? what car do you drive? haha. but i agree with everyone. when you go VIP-style, you will be adding more stuff to the car which it'll lose mpg. for example, if you used to have hubcaps+steelies and you add rims, you just added more weight to the car. not necessarily weight to the car, but it makes it harder to spin as fast compare to steelies.

bwahahahaha what VIP car comes with hubcaps or steelies?

I wish I had a manual gs300....I know it's not impossible either.....hmm....

I dont know, what car is in my sig. Its got a mostly stock 1JZ. It weighs 3300lbs ish. 
 
Stock wheels are FAR from light. Especially steel wheels. Aluminum > steel. You can get baller wheels that aint that heavy.
 
At the end of the day, if your worrying about milage your in the wrong scene.

Guys, You're still very lucky with gas prices. Here in Poland I have to pay about 5 polish zloty per liter, which is about 8,5 USD per gallon...

i guess Poland has a higher pay raise? hehe :dance:

I swear I was getting atleast 24-28mpg BEFORE i had my 19s' on.. but yeah It feels like I get 18mpg lol. But I only have em on the for the summer so its all good

[quote=honda_lagreat;181620]i guess Poland has a higher pay raise? hehe :dance:[/quote]

Nowadays the average salary is about 1,4k USD before taxation, so I hope it'll raise soon cause 3.0 engine and 18" wheels isn't cheap connection and I can't imagine bigger engine+bigger rims which such money :)

gas mileage?

wow, 35mpg?  that's awesome.  i'm not familiar with mercs, what is that, a 6 cylinder?

my mUm has a c220 4 banger that gets around 30 too like OCKlasse, wish it was my car + the Q hehe...

thanks for all the input guys, i wasnt trying to be *cheap* i was just curious on which one actually had the best mpg lol and wanted to see how everyone is doing with the whole situation as far as possibly putting mods off a little longer and so fourth. Your right it does cost to build this type of platform and im glad that i can be a part of it :D:dance:

I actually got 20mpg from Y33 going between 65-70 and i got 440 out of tank.  That was a really long trip.

managed an average of 29mpg on a long trip recently in my '98 ls400, daily commute sees around 24-25 usually. i drive her properly tho :biggthumpup:
too many other drivers need schooling on v8 powers!:giggity:

i get about 21mpg with my heavy ass 19's on in my gs300!

[quote=jdmgeorge;175811]thats insane 35 is that on a kompressor[/quote]

non kompressor

[quote=Beangrower_Fan;182940]wow, 35mpg?  that's awesome.  i'm not familiar with mercs, what is that, a 6 cylinder?[/quote]

4 cylinder. Around 143 to the wheels or 160-165 hp

my 1996 ka9 RL gets 21mpg avg.  not too bad for a 210 horse v6.

It's one of those things if you gotta ask then it's not for you, thats if your wanting to run a real platform. My old y33 got like 12 mpg and 18 hwy if I was lucky.
