Finally achieved my Goal, 100% over EPA :)

ok I looked that up. the main differance is in your lower grill the cross mesh is up front. mine it is at least 4-6 inches back so it would take a little more work for me. things to look at this weekend

But it is Friday and I did my weekly ritual... gas, barley based beverage, smokes. this week i will wait for your numbers before i post mine.

next week we will see if I get any change, my moon disk's came in!!!!!! Going to paint them up to look like regular hub caps.

Well, my fill this week was 52.25, which was greater than my 90 day, however it bumped a 55 which causes the 90 to go down It's ok though, because there are a couple sub 50's that will be bumped in the coming weeks. You can check my fuel log for details. I've been studying where I can gain and where I loose mpg, in an effort to improve mpg's without investment. 55 is probably the best I can do right now, but I'll probably average around 52-53 thru the summer.

Could you please edit your post to mispell Bear, it keeps setting of the security watchdogs on the work computers so I can't see this thread.

ok fixed that word for ya....
' I got me a 59.11 this week. I got my moon disk's in and will be ordering a digital tach, vacuum, temp gauges this week. so i can do the same thing and see where i can gain and where i loose mpg. i already have the MPGuino but not connected yet. so in a few weeks I will be doing a lot of wiring. So anymore instruments ANYONE can think of please let me know. I thought about adding a volt gauge and then adding an alternator kill switch to get more MPG.

I also have a week off in Aug so that is when i will work on my belly pan. I want my 60mpg bad!!!! But if EOC gets me 59.11 with just an upper grill block for the mods. I wonder what my max will end up being? still in the pipe:

all gauges
belly pan
tygen style grill block/Ducted Radiator
LRR tires
moon disk's
sealed panel gaps
tire splats (small)
fill in the tire gap because I cant do skirts

And once i find a good inside mirror I can do the mirror delete.

Thanks!

I don't think you will need any more mods to reach 60mpg, just the MPGuino. It will be the key ingrediant, but will take a few weeks to calibrate.

The sky is the limit with EOC, I'd bet you could get over 100mpg
Check here: Old Reliable to get an idea of what is possible...

You got a nice list of mods in the pipe. If your gonna go LRR tires, then you gotta get the Bridgestone RE92 165/65x14's. IMHO, they are the best. Not a great tire by normal peoples standards, but you will coast much better.

You should really try to make some rear wheel skirts, they are very beneficial.

I'm gonna have a short fill this week with minimal traffic because I am traveling. I think it will help the average

I figure 2 more fills to get up with you guys, even if I get the mid 60s I'm predicting for this tank. I agree about the Potenza RE92s. My fuel log shows a constant incline since I got mine(currently running them at 56psi). The 165/65R14 is the only LRR size of that tire, however, and you might want to call/order ahead to get them. My local shop had to ship them in.

P.S. I've had 3 trips, in a row, to work, at 102mpg.

well its friday and did my usual. and I got my gas and got the paper then came home and added it to my fuel log.....



I REACHED MY GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 60MPG

I honestly think that this heat box of over 100 degree heat played a lot into it. Plus I did started pulling back my EOC location and gliding longer. Found that I where I am now (this week) in the glide is about pushing the limit with the other drivers behind me. If it is just me and no one else then its a different story. I found that my glide can be a distance of 1 mile going from from 55mpg to 25mph.

Cant wait till my vacation me and the boy are MODDING!!!

[GoGogebic]

nice job

[Fat Charlie]

Congratulations!

[Tygen1]

You needed to go two more miles!!! That would have drove me nuts
BTW, I can't believe a '94 Corolla has only 22K on it. My '98 Escort has 294K.

My fill this week was 50.77, replacing a 50.73, so only a slight bump. I think parking at the airport for a week caused some significant evaporation because this was not a tipical tank, or I got a big overfill.....Either way, the next two weeks will be replacing sub 50mpg tanks, so I have a great chance here to pick up some significant ground.

didnt notice that.... till now. thats creepy. and the people I bought it from thought that the odo was broke. But when i went for a test drive I noticed it move.
