so went from Calgary back home to Winnipeg today. Tried driving at various speeds to see what kind of fuel economy I could get.

Doing 110-120kph I saw over 600km to a tank or almost 25 mpg

crusing at ~4200 rpm on the tach in 6th I did ~21 mpg

not bad if I do say so my self.

how come you net-ed 2 diff MPGs?

first one was 110-120kph, but how many RPMS was that?

and 2nd one you said RPMS but no speed...hmmmm

lol..care to add the extra info?

besides, do u care to specify which gas type you were running? thanks.

Assuming an average of 115kph, that's 3500RPM in 6th.
4200RPM on the tach in 6th works out to be approx 130kph.

25MPG is 9.41 L/100km.
21MPG is 11.2 L/100km.

thanks man.lol

I never looked at my REV while Cruising...

that sorts it out.

I've never had that kinda mileage. My best was 12.86L/100km

Could be our (his and mine) are down on power but I get similar numbers to him. I have actually gotten better mileage taking the 407 at a constant 127km/h (4000rpm) compared to the 403->401 playing in traffic going 110-120.

Those numbers look right to me. I get similar results driving to and from Vancouver every year.

Blue ground kit? Is that the neon glow underneath the caR?
