You just repeated yourself Also, there's some self-important tw*t driving around Madison in a Prius. His license plate? "48MPG" Almost makes me want to put a potato in his tailpipe.
Golfballs in the fuel tank. The fuel dissolves the outer shell, and the inner core of the ball sticks to everything imaginable. Requires a total rework of the engine And no, don't ask where I know this from
In my near future, I see the horrible things that happen when I drink too much becoming markedly worse. Fortunately, this is not a common event.
2001 ford windstar err... 16.8 mpg...thats what the computer in the car says...uhh..but i might be at fault for that
My mpg went up on my stang after getting the ecu re-tuned. I get around 19 city and 27-28 mpg highway averaging around 75mph. Not bad. I suspect your not over 15k miles on your pony as well. The mpg improves with age on the mod 3v.
You'd be correct... i'm only at 10k, and it's been babied. Oil changed every 3k (with filter). I suspect it's had such an easy life it wasn't even run in... until last weekend
well I just got back from a trip 350 miles 18.65 gallons 18.76 miles per gallon I drive a 2001 Chevy Blazer 4.3L V6
2007 Peugeot 207 1.4 50L tank filled to half for £25 (103.9 seems to be going rate in oxford at the moment), got 340ish miles out of it and according to the computer it was around 38-42mpg depending what on roads we were on.
Interesting thread. Why would smaller cars with smaller engines get LESS mileage than 'mid-size' cars with 2L engines like the Hyundai Elantra? Little engines have narrower power bands and have to work harder to move vehicle? Marilyn and I owned a 1989 Geo Metro 3 cyl 997cc 5 speed that got almost 40 mpg stock. It was a Suzuki Swift with a smaller engine. 11 gallon tank would take us from Denver to Lincoln Nebraska on one fill. I had to stop before the car did. Tiny turd had a 'shift dummy!' light on the dash to tell you when to shift for best economy. Light would come on at 83 mph to shift into 6th. It was a 5 speed. Silly engineers. I JDMed it to backdate it to front drum brakes for less drag than the disk brakes. Great tiny car. john
1981 iltis probably less than 1mpg i spent almost $200 filling it and a couple gas cans today and i'm almost out
I switched to 5k intervals with filter. I use mobil 1 full synthetic as well as mobil 1 high performance filter. I am switching to penzoil platinum full synthetic for the next change but I am keeping the mobil 1 full synthetic. FYI even ford recommends 5k or 12 months on it now. Honestly, you should really get a canned tune with a nice cai for it. It really wakes the engine up. I have the bamachips tune on my car and I can say the engine is loving it. It revs to 6500rpm at the blink of an eye, I have my red-line set to 6500. The vvt on the engine helps her breathe nicely up to red-line.
1992 VW Polo 1.3 40 litre Tank 350 miles average about 38-40 mpg on the commute 45-48 on a long run @ 70-80 mph there's something seriously wrong with seebuls Ibiza I used to get the same as my Polo out of mine
drove over 250km's yesterday (highway) and used about 3/8 of the tank (24L out of 64) which means 10.4L/Km so ... 27MPG Imp 22MPG US meh, quite disappointing
