Does anyone out here have an 87 442 stock in good running order? If so, what is your mpg? Do you drive as daily?

Thanks

I have a chance to buy a really sweet one in absolute mint cond with only 35 orig--

I am not one to just lock it away-- but would enjoy it daily as much as I could (except for snow cause they suc in snow)

But I keep thinking the gas would be horrible. I see threads talk about getting 13 or so city but some say their are getting about 17 18 city and 20;s hwy

HELP me decide?

 

I would say what you heard is true. If you drive it reasonably. 13 seems low but if it's a lot of stop and go driving without any regard for gas mileage, any car will suffer poor economy. I got 13.7 with my 71 442 and was pretty happy about that. It was highway driving at 70 mph. With 35k original miles I doubt you'll be putting on 15k a year. It sounds like quite a car. I wouldn't let a couple miles per gallon detur me from buying that 442.

 

my 86 442 would get 13.3-15.5mpg, and on trips get 17.9-19.5mpg

The factory sheet claimed 17/24
