How bad is your gas mileage?

[427 S/O]

Why would any big block Cobra owner sweat MPG?, I've never checked it and never will. People have ask me and I say. 'I have no idea and don't care', If you sweat MPG or value, you shouldn't own one......IMHO.

Agreed. When people ask me about my MPG I tell them "you can literally see the gas gauge needle moving before your eyes."

Like Patrick I have an answer for mileage inquiries ... The fuel gauge moves a little slower than the Tach. I do know roughly what the fuel consumption of my big block is but only because I need to know if I can get home or not. I can not run pump gas because of it's compression. My big block is 540 inches and drinks at a rate of about 4 miles per gallon but every gallon is so much fun.

Checking the range of the car for long trips and knowing how much further I can go before stopping. Other than that it really shouldn't be a factor.
The MPG is just a matter of division.
I am surprised I get over 10mpg.

Worrying about good gas mileage is kinda like people complaining about buying 200+ dollars a piece tires.
Spend all this money on a awesome car and then go cheap on what can hold you on the road.

When you don't have a fuel gauge, you pay attention to mileage .

Besides, why waste fuel you don't need to waste?
