If you keep it below like 4k, you will get that mileage. I found that out from experimenting on the roads. When I would drive "normally" keeping it at 5k+ I was only getting 180 - 200 per tank. Do this little trick and it’s going to sound nuts but it works...

When in first, shift at about 3750, same for second and third. By this time you should be doing about 45mph. At that speed and gear you can totally bypass 4 & 5th gears and go right into 6. Your rpm will hit about 2k but you will still be going and you will get more mileage. That’s basically what an automatic car does to save gas. If you get a chance to, find someone with an automatic car that tells what gear you’re in and watch how it shifts. Under normal conditions it will go from 3rd right to 6th gear. This works for me when it comes to saving gas.

Give it a shot and let us know the results.

 

hmm... if I'm back from Philly in time, I might show up

 

Hey i live in chevy chase i drive a titanium 8 with carbonfiber hood and intake and greddy midpipe and exhaust

 

Let me know when you want to do it.

 

thanks man...

so 13th what time and where agian....

 

Sunday, Aug. 13th @ Arundel Mills in the REAR of the parking lot by the food court. Look for Row 2B / 2C. If your familiar with arundel mills, you probably know the signs that tell where you parked. 5pm to avoid crazy heat.

 

i will be there

 

I have an rx7.. but waitin to get a rx8.. :-D

 

Hey an RX7 is still familiy. As long as you have a rotary engine... it dont matter what model car it is.

 

So not to change the subject in here ... But me and mike (steakboy) are at the OC carshow for the weekend .... And its been alot of fun and we will take pics ... and all that fun stuf for you guys .... I will let you all know the outcome of the show .

Shane
send from deleware ...

 

just look for the big coca cola bottle...the outline of it.

 

Mike here, shane invited me out there. I'll see what I can do about coming out there, its a decent drive just for one day, but not terrible. I think the harder part is convincing the GF to come with me. (I've been neglecting her lately [not on purpose] and I may need an entire weekend devoted to her to get back on her good side!) We'll see how it goes.

http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?...744A7575916687 <--- Main page if you wanna do your own search. I think those links should help buttering her up for the rest of the week

There are 126 different topics in there (I try and update on the weekends) so have a fun time bro lol

 

just take her shopping at the mall here...done deal. buy her a purse and some shoes.

 

since i like to eat my girls like to eat ....uhhhhhhhh i am not saying we are fat but we are persian... looool

 

I'm on my way with the buttering!!! I took her to the mall today to victoria secrets (her favorite store) and took her to a movie (Taladaga Nights [which was extreamly funny]) (isn't it fun to add intricate details this way?[or even more intricate details like this?]) lol. Yeah, working on it. I'm gunna try back massages next. then maybe other massages after that! Thank you for all of the ideas to help with my ladyfriend!

On a nother note, I just got my car tinted today. I never thought this car could get sexier. Well It Did. I got 5 percent on the back and the rear sides and 15 percent on the front sides. It is quite sexy! I'll keep you guys updated on me coming over this weekend.

Well, it's starting to look good. I may be able to go. Shane needs to PM me back!! Again, I'll keep you all posted. How many people are we expecting at this point?

-Steakboy

Don't think I'll be able to attend...

 

That sucks...

 

hey steakboy where in delaware are you at. i'm in salisbury if you want to meet up and drive. i do absolutely refuse to drive thru denton though. quite a few bad experiences lately.

 

PM me your AIM sn (if you have one), I always go to meets in Columbia with some friends if you'd like to join.

I just really need to spend some alone time this weekend... some personal stuff came up this past week and it's been a horrible one :\

 

I'm near Milford which is about 20 mins south of Dover. It'll be a trip for you unless we meet halfway.
