Just went from 40 psi to 50 PSI today & still can't avg 40 MPG on the highway at 50-65 MPH at night. It was 43° F @ 9:30pm
Does temperature really decrease mpg that much? I was getting over 40 MPG on the highway just a month ago, at 35 PSI!! The temperature was 30-40° F higher & it was day time.
I won't block the grill holes, b/c closely monitoring the engine for overheating isn't something I want to worry about.
I'll either have to deal with it, or find some other simple things to boost mpg.
That brief 1 minute 60 mpg spike, was me coasting off the highway exit to local roads. The data certainly is interesting.
Briefly around noon, it was only a high of 53° F, but I was able to avg 40 mpg on the highway @ 50 psi, thanks to the car heating effect of the sun at high noon. I even had 3 consecutive minute peaks at 60 mpg & a few other good minutes with fuel economy above 54 mpg around noon.
