I doubt it'* street legal. You might get 7 or 8 mpgs highway. It might be lower.

55-70mph will net you 8ish MPG.

This is based on the fact that at race speed they get 3-4 MPG and under caution they double it.

Hehe, right?

I was looking up the rules for the tracks around here and their top Late Model class. This car isn't allowed because of the motor.
