V-8, 930 trans
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I drove about 200 miles and got 20 mpg. It was freeway driving at speeds between 70 and 80. The outside temps were between 80 and 90 degrees and my coolant temps were a bit on the low side, 160 to 170 degrees. I don't have a oil temp gage yet but the pressures told me there was no problem there. I think if I ran at 65 mph and at temps of 180 my mileage would go up to 23 or 24 mpg. I am driving 1200 miles (2400 total) to a friends shop next month to get my car painted. Yes its a long way and gas will likely cost more than the paint work does but still should only cost me about 1,000 total. I have a set of MR2 seats and they are real comfortable. Since I installed a set of 165 lb rear springs the ride is 100% improved. I am sure I will still be a wreck after the drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) |
