I have noticed one big problem of my bad FE of driving city.
When I would drive 40-45 I would keep it in 4th gear sometimes because it seemed like it was bogging down or lugging the engine. Now with this ultragauge I see exactly what's going on and I see that being in 4th gear and going 40-45 I can only max out at 60-70 mpg by feathering the peddle. Now same street I'm in 5th gear and I can coast and glide or feather the pedal and it will range from 39-200+ depending on the incline and how far I can hold the glide. And feather the peddle
My average mpg is steady 41 with 70% city and 30% highway.
When I turn my a/c on my load goes from idle with no accessories on 25% load to a/c on 41 42% load. Crazy how much load this a/c takes
My IAT has only gone to 85-90 so I will have to experiment with that.
