Mine gets 11mpg city(most of the time less) and 17mpg hwy :burnout:

I belive 0000rpms.. :cool4:
 
On pure highway trips, driving between 72 and 75 mph, I usually get around 24 mpg. My car is stock.
 
4:10 gears and I got 20mpg for all 1933 miles on my trip back from San Diego after buying my Marauder.

Like 19.7 to 20.2. Even through the Rockies.

Mine is also stock and does the same. :D
 
My Kenny Brown #1x, is a cetrifugal blower, with the OEM MAF in blow through and 9.5 PSI of boost, 4:10 axle too. City MPG is 18-20, and highway is 23-24 average. Of course, this take a lot of right foot discipline, damn thing is just too much fun not to drive it's potential. But anyway, there are a few "tricks" you can do to lower your MMs rolling resistance, and every little bit helps.

As for the boost coming on, it is rather quick, and early in the throttle with the centrifugal blower. Not full time as it is with the roots style, but it's surely not as laid back as many think.
 
Yes this topic has been covered before. And it will agian! I just enjoy the ride till the needle gets twords red, fill up and keep moving!!! :burnout: :beer:
 
In stock form I couldnt get over 20.5 mpg hwy-75/80 mph. The more I mod the better it gets. Am up to 23.5 hwy@80mph. The exhaust made the biggest difference.

Like Sarge says--I too can make this all happen as well-but I usually am lower for his reasons---"right foot discipline"--but I usually do about 20 mpg at 70 and better when lower--so see Dok--you could be having this much fun with a blower for a few miles diff..gosh--you should try it......come to think about it--you haven't wanted to drive mine yet--maybe over at the cook-out I can pursuade you..humm..wha do you think.. :banana: ..Tom..
 
yeah, in general, w/a S/Ced Marauder it really depends on how much you get into the boost. I get 12 MPG city. But I also have the 4.56 gears which also DO lower your gas mileage. As far as the question as to what RPM the boost kicks in, RPM is irrelevent. It's how much you get into the gas pedal. push it down more than 1/3 of the way, and you're into boost slightly. Push it down halfway, and your into boost a little more. Bury it in the carpet, and your at the full boost pressure. That's how mine is anyway. But regardless of the S/Cer used, it's the trottle position that determines when you go into boost, and not the RPM.

Last weekend 300 miles Got 19.7 on the HWY @80MPH. I was surprised because I was getting into the throttle a lot but not WOT.
 
I average 18 mpg in town and 21 highway. The PCM was reflashed, the rest of the car is like I bought it. I probably could do a little better on highway mpg, I cruise at speeds higher than optimun for good gas mileage.

Stock I get about 22.2 mpg highway and 19.5 mpg city if and when I check. But, I don't do that very often -- I just fill 'er up when she gets near a 1/4 tank. This car ain't about MPGs, it's all about the SPMs (Smiles per Mile). Priceless !!!!
 
on a side note. im still looking for my mm.

What would the max you would offer for a 2003 MM that is still left over. im considering this instead of a used one since there are several left in the states and i could have it delivered.

I do the same. I don't pay much attention to the gas mileage. Besides I have my foot on the pedal to much to get an accurate reading.
