1986 Ferrari 328 GTS/GTB
Fuel Economy Overview
The 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS/GTB achieves an EPA-estimated 13 MPG in combined city and highway driving, with 11 MPG in the city and 17 MPG on the highway. Powered by a 3.2L 8-cylinder engine paired with a manual 5-spd, this two seaters features Rear-Wheel Drive drive.
In terms of environmental impact, the 1986 328 GTS/GTB produces approximately 684 grams of CO2 per mile. This figure is measured under standardized EPA test conditions and represents tailpipe emissions only. For context, the average new vehicle sold in the United States produces approximately 400 grams of CO2 per mile, meaning this 328 GTS/GTB has higher-than-average emissions in this regard.
The estimated annual fuel cost for this vehicle is $4,600, based on 15,000 miles of driving per year and current national average fuel prices. Compared to the average new vehicle, you would save $12,250 over a 5-year period. This calculation accounts for differences in fuel consumption efficiency and provides a practical measure of long-term ownership costs attributable to fuel economy.

Adjust the slider to match your daily driving habits. City driving involves stop-and-go traffic under 45mph, while highway driving represents sustained speeds over 55mph.
Aerodynamic Speed Penalty
EPA highway tests average roughly 48 mph. Driving at 75 mph increases aerodynamic drag exponentially. Expect your real-world highway fuel economy to drop by roughly 15-20% at interstate speeds.

FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM FORKS COULD DEFORM AFTER SUBSTANTIAL IMPACTS, SUCH AS IN AN ACCIDENT.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN EVENTUAL COLLAPSE OF THE SUSPENSIONARM WITH IMPAIRED HANDLING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE FOUR FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM FORKS WITH FORKS OF A GREATER THICKNESS.
THE FLEXIBLE OIL HOSES FOR THE ENGINE OIL RADIATOR COULD LEAK ENGINE OIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLAMPING OF THE METAL CONNECTORS TO FLEXIBLE PORTION OF OIL HOSE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE; OIL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence:
Remedy: REPLACE LOWER AND UPPER HOSES CONNECTING ENGINE OIL RADIATOR WITH IMPROVED HOSES. ALSO, UPDATE OIL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE ASSEMBLY.
FLEXIBLE RUBBER HOSE FOR RETURN OF FUEL TO RIGHT SIDE FUEL TANK MAY CHAFE IF POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO METALLIC DISCHARGE CONNECTOR OF AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR CREATING A FIRE POTENTIAL.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence:
Remedy: REPOSITION FLEXIBLE FUEL HOSE; REPLACE IF HOSE SHOWS ABRASION OR DAMAGE.
