I've been driving a lot more aggressively since the last thread, though I still coast (in gear) on downhills or whenever I can, so I'm not hitting the 28mpg I used to...Generally speaking I average around 20-23mpg week to week.

Driving to Milwaukee a few weeks ago to pickup an Evo X FMIC, I got 27.6mpg round trip. Cruising at 70mph with a turbo back exhaust, intake, UICP, & Cobb's Stage 93 octane pump gas map.

I just had a new personal best:

I got 332 miles to the tank.
Filled up with 12.5 gallons. That gave me 26.56 MPG (Mostly highway with a little city/canyon driving)
My previous best was only 288 miles to the tank so I'm pretty happy right now.

This was done with UR test pipe, UR catback, UR Upper & LICP, AEM Intake, Evo X Intercooler, & GST stock boost bill, 91 base map

I just came back from vacation(about 3 hour drive each way), and on the way back I hit a new personal best of 29.2 mpg overall according to the dashboard gauge. Not too shabby!

Wow, how are you pulling that off?? I hardly see anyone who's able to get over 30 mpg, and you did that at 74mph which is even more impressive, because typically mpg starts decreasing at speeds greater than 60mph.

Wizards, I tell you. Wizards.

I have a picture of the cluster somewhere that proves this. I used 3 gallons of gas to travel back to Durham from Fayetteville. That is a 90+ mile trip up I-95.

Guys, he is quoting the average off the HID. It's fairly easy to have the HID show that, hell I can get the HID to show that, even on E85.

We all know it's not accurate over a full tank. Do the old school math method and you will see you aren't truly getting that mileage.

This was on E85, after doing the actual math it was actually 21mpg:



Stop quoting the dashboard HID when stating your MPG.

Wrong car, wrong thread, wrong forum section. All fail.
