Just put 14.7 gallons in today. My first fill up since comming back from RRC!!!
Let's see, filled up in Barstow, drove to Running Ssprings(84 miles), drove to Riverside(37 miles), and then 14 miles a day for 12 days (168 miles). 84 37 +168 289 Miles!! That's aproximently 20 MPG!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Way better than my 4x4 pickup at 7 MPG! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

Lol that probably killed it. Haven't started it up since then. I have had it parked so I don't break anything else for right now. I'm pretty sure I have an odometer cable. I should replace it. I am very curious to know the exact MPG... or more exact.
Do people do things to their teeners(other than electric car) to up their MPG? I wouldn't think so but just curious. |

Tune up?
and a header and a Mallory ignition and put a stone in your sock to keep you from mashing down on the gas pedal? |

Oh yeah you said seomthing about a tune up right? I will PM you after we have the brake issue taken care of. I don't want to get ahed of myself and be overwhelmed. A more free flowing header? Should I get a new muffler too? Did we ever figure out what my muffler is or from?? I can understand the more flow for more power and better mileage. I use to do the K&N and magnaflow upgrades at my old job.

You want good mileage, go to dual singles. Thomas and Linda (both 1.7's) are getting over 40 on the highway. Thats with out changing the cam.

Higher compression ratio can increase efficency,

Wow. I usually see about 370-430 miles per tank on the odometer. Subtract the 10% for tire size, and that is 340-390 or roughly 24-26 mpg. Good mix of spirited driving/freeway/stop-and-go traffic.

On boost? prolly closer to 7 mpg. |

Finally got my teener back on the road today for the first time since RRC so I could finally fill up and do the math. 903 miles total with an average of 28.72 mpg.
Flagstaff to Moab was 30.4 mpg with a speed of 70 mph most of the way. Moab to Flagstaff was 75 mph most of the way. I got 31.44 from Moab to Kayenta, but only 26.68 from Kayenta to Flagstaff. That climb up to 7,000 feet really kills the mileage! This is with a 73 2.0L with flat-top euro pistons, set to 8.2:1 compression, stock D-Jet and a slightly hi-performance cam. The plugs look like it's running a bit rich, but I haven't yet dug into what I can do about it. There's not much variability available with the stock FI. |
