What speed/gears were you using? |
Heck ya it's fun, like trying to beat a top score at the arcade.
I was using 3rd,and 4th, accelerating at about 3/4 throttle and shifting at 2200rpm. I was using a 10 mph window centered at 35mph. And was eoc to red lights and was able to time everyone for once without stopping completely except one light(will not change unless you get on the pad) And at that light I left off until I saw other light go yellow, then restarted the car.
I know I won't be able to pull this mileage all the time, but will be nice on days I run errands around town. It was an amazing experience for me, I was struggling to hit 50 in town before, now I know the guino has been worth every second and dollar I put into it.
