carfreak85 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Back when Wagonpowaa owned my BRAT, he could get almost 30 MPG with his Hitachi. With the Weber he was a couple MPG down, but not much. This is on a stock Gen 1 BRAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Im getting about the same as a hitachi. Most on the board find they stay about the same +/- a couple mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It depends how you drive it. If you can keep your lead foot controlled enough to never open the secondary, you should be able to get over 30 mpg. If the secondary opens up on a regular basis 25 mpg is about normal.
