50,000 Miles of Ecomodding :)

It's been just over two years and 50,000 miles of Ecomodding and I have just finally met me goal of getting some consistant 50mpg commuting tanks. Yea I know it's just two in a row
I'm very excited and had to share! I'm looking forward to better summer time mpg, it's still early in the year

Put on the Bridgestone RE92 LRR tires and light wieght wheels over the winter. Also deleted A/C and P/S. These have helped quite a bit.

Awesome!

top work on the consistant 50mpg US

Making me pale into insignificance by only having an average of 40.8 mpg (imp) over 6k miles- only 44k behind!

Great job Ty! I'm shooting for 70mpg myself, 60 without aero, just driver and engine tweaks and RR stuff, weight reduction, etc.

I gonna try and get the 90 day average up to 50mpg, that would give me 100% over EPA

I always thought I would be satisfied with 50mpg, problem is I just want more now

I have a TD04 sitting in the garage and a few bucks starting to be saved up for tuning I'm interested to see if I can run a 19:1 AFR, then I'll be right there with you

A TD04, you say?

You wouldn't be interested in parting with it, would you? Lol...

I wonder if the IHI RHB5 VJ11 would get me what I require... Guy on another forum has one for sale.
