(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I decided to check my gas mileage on the 2.0. (stock Djet)
I filled up, with 89, drove 100.03 miles, averaged 50 miles /HR with slow traffic at times then fill up again. The tank took exatly 2.60 gallons. If i did my math correctly thats about 38.5 miles per gallon. Is that real? |

Tire rack will tell you if you look up the tire and look at the specs. 38 in a 2.0 liter is really not possible if you have it tuned properly. I got to 38 in a 1.7 with a ton of work and never got over 40 which was my goal. Now I run smaller tires and I dont care anymore. It was a challenge, with quite a bit of fiddling with the fuel injection, the MPS, and tuning. Rich |
