87 442

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?

Well I don't own one, but I have owned cars like it over the years and the numbers you have are about right. Maybe a little high. If your looking a car that gets good mpg. Then a old muscle car won't do it. That's why most us have a dd that does and our pride and joy for the weekends.

I have one and as much as I love this car it would suck as a daily driver. The 3.73 rear doesn't help the gas mileage. Also takes premium fuel.
