| Description: |
Original EPA Estimates were 32 HWY, 23 CITY, which I believe is more accurate.
This cars MPG is mostly affected by driver imput or lack there of.
My goal for this tank is again 35MPG+ 100% city, absolutely no highway.
I will use some methods I am experimenting with for hill ascent, cornering, split shifting, extended coasting, recognizing and taking advantage of the wind better timing of red lights, reading traffic conditions ahead and behind better and taking advantage of them, less short trips, rush hour trips.
I call this method "Common Sense Driving" as I never disrespect or hold up other drivers, I travel slightly above the speed limit usually 5-10, more if traffic deems it necessary, less if there is little or no traffic. I will also leave earlier for work this time around, something I hate doing and try to stay under 4200RPMs with this tank if possible.
I have chosen not to use a scanguage until I have reached my goals without it then I will no my car enough to know when the scan gauge should and should not be followed.
45MPG highway will be my next goal, following 35MPG city, I then have two freeway trips coming up. This go might not be possible because of the high 2800-3400RPM that the SI turn at 65-85 MPH, but I can try.
I will then reward myself by trying to get the lowest MPG I can get.
Wish me luck. |
