Gas mileage for 400 - 11/28/09 05:44 AM
Stock 400 with ~80,000 miles on it.
Mix of highway/town driving what do yo think it will get for gas mileage...I'm guessing ~13-14???

13-14 on the highway maybe. Really depends what it's in and rear gear too.

I buy Neons for daily drivers, cheaper and better mpg's.

I had quite a few 400's when new. Highway only at around 70MPH they got 15MPG in trucks and 17-18 in cars. Subtract around 2MPG for combined city/highway. That was with 3.21 gears and of course in good tune with tight timing chains.

My 73 400 that is stock except for a mild cam, a 1970 383 intake, headers, and a 670cfm Holley Street Avenger gets less than 10mpg around town in my 73 Charger with 2.45 rear gears.

Many years ago, I drove a Chrysler Newport with a 400. It was a stock, low horsepower 400. Don't recall the axle ratio, but it was fairly economical cruising on the highway. (16-17 mpg)
