DAYUMMM I heard Pontiac Trans AM's are huge GAS GUZZLERS

[Hunta the Red]

I hope this isn't true espcially with the crazy ass gas prices going at $2.79 REGULAR in New York where I live at

I heard this Gas Guzzler talk from somebody who has a 1990 KITT replica that he is trying to sell that this is true (I hope its a rumor)

Anyway am wondering is this true or not

[Army_F_Body]

Around 14 mpg on a good day with my V-6. Sucks more with a V-8.

As my Grandpa once told me, you don't buy cars like these for their fuel efficiency.

[Fantine]

Trans-Am...not your best option for a commuter car.

However, for your **fun** car.

[Michael Pajaro]

I was getting over 20 mpg with a 1988 5-speed V8 Firebird. Got it up to 26 mpg on long trips. In its later years the milage went down as I didn't take as good care of it.

Always use super-unleaded.

[Hunta the Red]

What about at least a 92 Trans-Am model or the later models

Am Sure Pontiac fixed this Gas Eater probelm it had later in the years

14 mpg per load of gas, stop fukking kidding me

Dayumm then driving a KITT would be money suicide in these High Gas Price days

Wow if what u said "Army F Body" is true then that is such a huge turn-off for my dream of getting a KITT turnkey

I probably have to look for another car now....that sukks

[TurbomanKnight]

stop fukking kidding me

Dude, I hope you can post with some respect. This is a board that refrains from that type of language. You can use ** or just use a replacement word such as "Freakin" But even though you misspelled the word, it has the same sound/meaning. Just giving you a heads up. No hard feelings here. Just don't want to get you banned.

But Mike I don't understand it, u would think that with all those stunts KITT did and how much Michael Knight drove the car so much on the show, that it would be fuel efficent in not wasting a lot of gas

Or u would think the producers of KnightRider would find a good car that saves alot of gas for the show......shyt at least a 6 cylinder 40mpg type of car

A 14 to 20 mpg per gas stop is just pathethic....a jalopy probably saves more gas then a trans-am

Dam I don't even think I want a KITT anymore now because of the gas drama

Oh my bad u can't curse?

Why? That sukks

HAHAHA my fault I didn't read the board rules tho but good looking out on the warning for me

[TurbomanKnight]

No Problem. This board needs more New Yorkers. So don't be a stranger.

I have a 1984 KITT (Trans Am) and he gets 8 mpg city, 10 highway!!

305
aluminum intake
edelbrock 650 carb.
headers
crane cam
700R4 overdrive

[reaper_478]

damn guys, i'm glad i got the firebird i have. a 2001. V6, i get 30 on the highway and 25 in town. plus i've also made it get more air to, the more air you can cram into it, the more power AND gas mileage you get.

I hope you kept that car. I know the 83 T/A (305 crossfire, 3-speed auto) and 83 Camaro SC (HO 305, 3-speed auto) I had years ago sucked on gas (10 mpg or below).

My mileage sucks because it's older and has been sitting a while. I just but a CAI system into mine that should throw some more air down her gullet and improve milage. I think I got close to 18 mpg city when I first got her in 97.

If you plan on owning a KITT I would recomend a daily driver. These cars were never meant as daily drivers new. I have a little Civic I drive. My neighbor just bought his wife an 03 Vette as a daily driver and she keeps telling me how much she wants a little car like mine to for daily driving. I can never understand these people that claim they would drive a KITT every day. I think a few months of that and they would change their minds.

[knightrider2004]

are the 4 cylinder trans ams any good on gas?

[Pierre]

perhaps because its fuel injected but only 90HP you will get faster with a civic

remember there are V8 engine with 5.0 liter it's not design to be fuel efficient if you want something economical buy a little car or a bike something with a bad design and not the slikeness of a firebird
