RRM pulley 39 mpg's
 
Well I put a RRM pulley on and i have been getting good gas mileage 420 miles on a full tank and around 39 mpg . Only mod is the pulley.

EDIT - math is incorrect. See posts below. 08LanceRage got roughly 31mpg on that tank. The 39mpg was for that trip, which is how the 2008 measures (per trip, not overall).

wow, thats pretty cool, i hardly get 420 kms out of mine, which is about 255 miles!!

Ouch $3.03 a gallon, damn California, lol. But ya thats great you are getting those kind of miles, I get about 300 on a full tank.

08LanceRage Nov 1, 2007 04:03 PM

Yeah Dam Cali prices. I didnt drive the car hard at all when this was done....

What was your mileage before the pulley?

08LanceRage Nov 1, 2007 04:47 PM

Around 30 mpg , 350miles on a full tank maybe 370 miles i forget. Depends on driving habit

You suck at teh math. 420 miles with 13.3 gallons = 31.5 mpg. Beyond me why the carputer is telling you 39, unless it uses parallel universe math. Anyways, a pulley won't increase your mileage by an amount you can measure with the miles/fill amount method. We're talking tenths or hundreths of a mile per gallon.

Gas is only 3.03 in California? I thought it was supposed to be higher there...I live in Ohio and it's like 3.05 a gallon...damn.

Yeah, I would agree with otter. There is no way you are pullin an extra 50 miles out of a tank or 9 miles more per gallon, with a pulley. We all know that you need the eBay 20hp chip in combination with the tornado super-charger intake aluminum shark tooth ring mod. ;)

That was the reading for his most recent trip not his whole tank....

I got very similar miles to the tank results which I posted in the MPG thread

I typically get a little less though

Yeah I didnt calculate it im just showing everyone what the car said...


Either way I got 420 miles on a full tank , If 39mpg is false I still got 420 on a full tank! Thanks guys...
Next time ill keep a gallon of gas in the trunk so i can run the car all the way till it stops. Then I can calculate the true mpg's... lol j/k .
