Second trip to work and home using Scanguage:
To work: 41.9 mpg
Home: 41.2 mpg (trying harder, but uphill)
Nearly Stock 2001 ZX3 (manual)
-Cold air intake
-Sticky Michelin Pilot AS+ tires on 17" wheels at 40/41 psi
-.75 inch dia. rear anti-roll bar
-Mobil 1 synthetic oil
-89 octane fuel
-I realize most of the above should reduce mileage
Commute is 61 miles each way combined country roads and highway
55-65 mph on highway and 40-55 on winding country roads
Air temperature was in the mid 90s
Coasting and very gentle acceleration makes a big difference
The car does not really need to slow down for corners due to the tires.
Didn't actually piss too many people off either.
Before the using scangauge I was getting 33-34 mpg on a tank and thought it was great.
I am really impressed with this little car, and the scangauge.
