I get about 32mpg… and my engine has a different head than the 4AGE, designed specifically for MPG… maybe I should change plugs + wires? ---

> [@ShalerPunk](#): > > i find it really hard to believe that a 3400 V6 gets better MPG than my 1600cc Prizm. It’s all gearing. A lot of little 4 bangers are geared different b/c of less power to pull a higher gear. Look at sunfires/cavi at like 70 the rpms are at almost 3 grand and only get like 25 mpg on the highway and get about 23 mpg in the city. I have a GTP and it gets about 15-16 mpg city and 32 highway. I can hold 70 mph at about 2K rpm so it gets better gas mileage b/c of the gearing. In my WS6 I get about 33mpg and can hold 70 at about 1500 rpm. Cars with bigger engines pretty much all get worse gas mileage in the city but on the highway they can “hang” with a lot of 4 bangers (lower rpm and less shifting for hills). ---
