When planning an engine build, how can one estimate potential fuel mileage? Thanks.

If you are building a race engine who cares as long as its fast :roll:

Way to many variables here.
Think you might want to tell us BB or SB, use of engine, alcohol or gas, NA or blown etc.
I could say it will get 100+ mpg but that is as silly as your post.
:P

I have been happy with about 3 gallons per mile
that includes .driving to the lanes and making a pass and of course driving it back

i used 2 gallons of methanol per run, warm up and pass, tow back. not sure what kind of mileage that works out to. i was ok with that :lol:
fuel mileage may vary :shock:

I'm with chevyguy65 on this one, thats was to general of a question to even think about answering.
A total waste of a thread if we don't get more info.
