Terminal F/E; What's yours?!
After playing around with my VAFC for a little bit (fine tuning Vtec engagement) I decided to find out what my terminal fuel economy would be using a very simple method... Given that my car runs at 2700 Rpms during cruising speed, I tested the unloaded engine (vehicle stopped, trans in neutral) for fuel consumption in gph and netted approx 45mpg terminal F/E
70mph / 1.55gph = 45mpg
This would be the resultant mpg my Acura would make at a constant 70mpg, flat road, with no rolling resistance, air resistance, or drivetrain losses. Obviously this on its own does relatively no good, but it does allow for a realization of expectations, and will help guide you with the use of EOC, DWL, P&G, DFCO, aero mods, etc. in order to help achieve your goals
So my question is, what's yours?
