My summer fill-up: 80 mpg (US)
Woohoo! Broke 80 mpg... barely ... for my summer tank!
http://ecomodder.com/forum/fe-graphs/graph11.gif (blackfly fuel log) Also, I cracked 1000 km for the first time (legitimately), and could have gone a lot farther (put 32 litres into a 40 litre tank). FYI, this was 100% highway trips (with sub/urban stuff on each end). The first part of the tank would have been P&G, but by the second half, I had decided to mostly just drive with load, and keep working on the aero mods. Also, the alternator was disabled for about 1/3 of the distance (end of the tank). I don't have SG data for tank avg speed, etc, because I loaned it out partway through my tank (so it messed up my data). |
Great Job!! Darin
And 1 question how much throttle do you give on your pulse? 1/2, 3/4 I am thinking about starting some p&g. |
Thanks! About the pulse, I don't know exactly... Probably closer to 1/2 than 1/3 throttle if I had to guess. My experience is that the car can get phenomenal P&G fuel economy at low/moderate speeds (no more than about 40-45 mph average), but not so much at higher speeds (light weight + poor aero = short glides).

Very nice. One of these days I'll be there too... yeah that might be a while yet, BUT SOME DAY! :)

great job, you make it looks so easy :p

Your 90 days Fuel economy is over 200% EPA :thumbup:
I do have to continue my grill block, the preliminary version (ie cardboard and tape) is already cut up :cool: then to empty+fill my tank to know where I'm... but I'll be happy to be at 120% EPA : often I'm far from being slow enough Denis. |
Wow. That is just crazy! Congratz!
