Right after the race I filled up to drive home. My normal near 60 mpg fell to a bit over 42 mpg with the drag racing. If I had not drag raced it the mpg I should have gotten on that fill up would have been around 48-52 due to the type of driving I was doing during the week and on the way down at 65-70 mph. My 84 Plymouth Horizon with a bone stock motor, stock gears, and 1760 lbs normally gets 23 mpg in town and on the highway, when I drag race it it uses 5 lbs of gas for every 4 passes! My 12 second SRT4 Neon has gotten a best of 36 mpg on the highway, and when drag racing it IN THE 12s, it only uses 5 lbs of gas for 10 passes down the track! The Geo's weight changed 1 lb during the 6 passes down the track!
