Just wanted to get a collection of data from other terminator drivers with various mods to see what kind of fuel consumption they get.
I get about 250 miles to a tank.

Between 110 and 150. A very high tank with lots of highway is around 180. It's a toy though so when it comes out it's foot flat everywhere it goes.

My normal DD is an old beater 328is. Gets around 32 MPG which is great but it's not really reliable. Blown head gasket and other cooling issues. Bought it for $1k but the body is in great shape. Finally after 6,000 miles driving it like that after buying it from the previous owner I'm finally doing the headgasket and some other top end work. It should finally be reliable and the cobra can become the toy again.

I'm about 140, but that's pretty much zero highway and lots of 1-2-3 romps. E85 and 700 wheel hp. I have yet to really cruise the car 65 on this set...but I'd think it would get 18-19 on the freeway

What was factory rated highway mpg on gas? 24?

My car had nearly the same mods as the OP. I'd get 190-230 miles per tank with mixed driving. Pure highway I could get 300 miles per tank.
