August 27/06...
133 mpg (US)
Today I repeated the trip to the park to ride some trails (supposed to be crap weather tomorrow). Roads were pretty much deserted when I went just after supper - think I pulled onto the shoulder to let 3 or 4 cars by where the center line was solid, and signalled for maybe 6 or 8 to pass me where it was broken (and clear ahead). Managed not to hold anyone up. It was all very civil.
What's below are the results of mostly 2nd-3rd gear P&G, with some 1-2 as well. And a smaller amount of 3-4. The engine didn't quite reach normal operating temps on the first leg of the trip (8+ miles).
Interesting to see what the car is capable of. But the avg speed, as you can see is pretty low. ("RLS P&G: Really Low Speed P&G).
Then again... I just noticed that on my first 100 mpg r.t. its average speed was actually a tick
lower than this effort. Interesting.
The "today" info is the entire round trip (just one trip today).
The "current" info is the return leg - slightly downhill, but barely. I think the FE is higher mostly because the car was somewhat warmed up. Though I also kept the speed a bit lower.
