60MPG in city!
Everyone knows I have oversized tires, misaligned front end (just need alignment). I never expected to get anywhere near 60MPG yet but I managed it today!
A trip to the store today for my parents, approx 11 miles of very, very heavy traffic, hit 9/10 of the stop lights and a 400ft increase in elevation from my start point. Numbers are increased by 4.5% from the gauge due to bigger tires. http://imageshack.com/a/img743/4850/mVh1xx.jpg For a total of 57.4MPG. Return trip home, hit 10/10 red lights, along with a broken down car in the road so it was basically another stop light. http://imageshack.com/a/img537/8348/t5pjyQ.jpg For a total of 60.61MPG Once I get my alignment done, and the proper tires 65-70 should be a piece of cake. And remember THIS IS IN THE CITY, NOT FREEWAY. I'm keeping up with traffic, not driving like a grandma, shifts at 3-3.5k RPM. |
Was this in the Insight or Mustang? :turtle:

Nice, I found that 60MPG seemed to be about the base MPG in city, looks about to same for you.
Are you using the FCD? Seemed to be pretty accurate in mine. |

Thats quite the intake temp. Usually I read about 15-20 over ambient temps. Are those temps normal for you? I have had one insight that constantly read high but idk if it was that high.

How's that gauge hook up? Does it just plug in to the port?

60 in the city is an impressive number! Especially with the IMA as compared to Toyota's system. Congrats!

One way to limit the effect of misalignment on FE is to raise tire pressure, to the point that if raising tire pressure gets you more than 10% efficiency gain over OEM tire pressure you can bet your life your alignment is out.
I guess you already did raise the pressure, but there's no harm in checking ;) |
