wow...I would cry doing that to my car.
Why did you bother getting an LGT? Why didnt you just get neutered?

You aren't driving a 243 HP, AWD sport sedan to the tune of 33 MPG regardless of what tires you throw on it. On a mostly flat, 2 lane country highway cruise with cruise control on @ 55 MPH in 5th gear (RPMs around 2300-2500, IIRC), I get 28-28.5 MPG on my stock GT. Unless you're cruising those 500 miles at a constant speed of 40 MPH in 5th gear, it is impossible to get those kinds of numbers out of this car.

What the OP failed to mention is what oil he's using.

i can really stretch my tank of gas too! i usually get 2 - 2.5 weeks out of one tank. how's that for performance?
i kid i kid. i live in the city and take public transportation to work. love the short commute, but it drives me crazy seeing my LGT sit around 5 days a week.

Im confused. WHERE THE F IS THE PERFORMANCE?
|
Thats what I'm wondering. This is just MPG gain. Not performance!
|
There was nore levity this time around, with the 2.5 weeks and another guy bragging on 99.9 mpg (that's what the instant mpg pegs at, you see it on DFCO). One guy came in and tecognized mpg as a legitimate performance (fun) area. He then pissed in the ricers' cheerios:

You can own this car for multiple reasons, but to tune it to be a race car is one of the lamest reasons out there. I lump those folks in with ricer boy civic owners. You should have bought a WRX STI and just had a real sports sedan. Instead all of you beat on him about his MPG goals bought a luxury family sedan you think is hot **** because you've modded a few things. You are neither fast nor cool. Come to the track and we can measure your speed with lap times not HP.

And promptly got attacked for only having an automatic.
