Fuel Economy Overview

The 1994 Ferrari Ferrari 348 TB/TS/Spider achieves an EPA-estimated 14 MPG in combined city and highway driving, with 12 MPG in the city and 17 MPG on the highway. Powered by a 3.4L 8-cylinder engine paired with a manual 5-spd, this two seaters features Rear-Wheel Drive drive.

In terms of environmental impact, the 1994 Ferrari 348 TB/TS/Spider produces approximately 635 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 Ferrari 348 TB/TS/Spider has higher-than-average emissions in this regard.

The estimated annual fuel cost for this vehicle is $4,950, based on 15,000 miles of driving per year and current national average fuel prices. Compared to the average new vehicle, you would save $14,000 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.

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.

critical
Component: SEAT BELTS

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT SLIDER CAN BECOME JAMMED WHEN THE SLIDER TAPE SEPARATES FROM THE TAKE-UP REEL, ILLUMINATING THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT. SHOULD SUCH A CONDITION OCCUR, THE BELT MUST BE POSITIONED AND FASTENED MANUALLY BY CONNECTING THE BELT TO THE FIXED ANCHOR POINT.

Consequence & Remedy

Consequence: THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT REALIZE THAT THE SEAT BELT CAN BE OPERATED MANUALLY, AND DOES NOT USE THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE COMPLETE PASSIVE RESTRAINT SEAT BELT SYSTEM.
