New pony in the stable
96 geo metro base. 97k miles. 5 speed with ac. No power steering. Great condition. Two logs so far, averaging a solid 8 mpg over my winter averages with the escort.
Amazing how you have to relearn a new vehicle. Any tips on p&g mph shift points and any other pointers would be appreciated. |
wow; of course you put up some phenomenal numbers with the 'scort, so you have a lot of skill already.

I just read your fuel log - pretty comprehensive. What's your air deflector look like, and other than roof rack, UD pulley, and 2co, what are your other mods?
|
No other mods. Air deflector was the stock missing piece. I have a gps, and that is what the "MA" and "max" are. MA is moving average mph, and max is the max speed I hit during that log. Gives a general idea of how much city vs highway driving I did.
My wife has taken over driving it since I have the geo. It's back to 30-34 mpg averages. I was hoping for some geo owners to chime in with their shift points so I didn't have to figure them out on my own. I live in east Tn. Terrain is somewhat hilly, so I have to take advantage of them when I can and really feather on uphills. I was really hardcore on p&g, but started doing more soft p&g and didn't lose too much. I actually have a set of Gt side skirts to go on it, and plan on lowering it when I put new shocks on it. Kicked around the idea of a grill block, but didn't want to drill the prime condition front bumper. |
