I got a speeding ticket yesterday. Maybe I should try to set my cc to 60. :-(

I'll give it a try, it'll be tough with everyone going 80 mph.

 

This thread is truly great entertainment, please keep it going.

I challenged anyone on the UK forum I would deliver a drink of their choice to their door if they could really achieve 30mpg - and thats UK gallons, which I think is something like 26 mpg US. It just looks impossible. OK if I took it out of gear and rolled 200 miles down a convenient hill I might but I would class that as cheating.
Stats rule. If I worked out 30mpg I would KNOW I couldnt have filled it right up on the subsequent refill, thus voiding my calculation.

Well on this last tank i really let it rip. 1st 2nd and 3rd gear redline shifts whenever possible. no running in 6th gear, usually staying in 4th even at highway speeds just to play with the power available from 5k to 9k and to see how bad my mileage would be. a few times running in 5th on the highway at 65-70 mph. 173 miles on 14.18 gallons for my lowest mileage ever on this car- 12.2 mpg!! hehehe. it was alot of fun and worth every penny so on this tank i am going to shift no later than 3500 in each gear and try to get to 6th as soon as possible every time,so at about 45 mph and above. ill let you know what i get this time.

 

Betcha can't do it

 

You guys are the biggest ***-holes I have ever seen in my life. I posted this about a test that I did. I am 100 pct confident that my calculations were correct and I did achieve that miles per gallon. I have been attacked for no reason. This was posted because so many of you bitch about your mileage and just maybe a little bit of encouragement would help.

Everyone gets on my case cause I told WannaB that I don't not to call me banger. So I posted this:

"8_wannabe, Please dont call me "Banger". Thanks."


He responded:

No offense intended. I truncate everyone's name here and didn't want to call you Zero. That sounded disrespectful. But as you wish... How about ZB?


At this point I had no problems. My request NOT to be called "BANGER" was not said in a mean way. He obviously agreed.

at this point,

RX-GR8 comes on with this post:


zerobanger cmon calling out 8 _wannabe for calling you Banger? it's part of your userid. if you take offense to that maybe you shouldnt have Banger in your name to begin with. you called kingcar "king" so what goes around comes around. pick your battles. BTW you can call me GR8

Where the hell did I "CALL OUT" 8_wannabe ? I corrected him he responded fine to it. Now i'm the bad guy?

This forum is a joke. 95 pct of you are a bunch of jack-asses.

 

How did you calculate that 95 percent? I checked and keep coming up with something like 87.6.

 

ROTFLMAO!!! :D :D :D

 

It's called sarcasm, Banger.....I mean Zero.....I mean Mr Zerobanger Sir. Sorry, j/k.

Everyone's having a bit of fun at your expense. Don't take it so seriously.

 

I got 22.7mpg my last tank in roughly 70% city driving, 20% snow driving, and 10% highway/country roads. Anyone want to flame me too?

 

i got 1MPG off road, had to call a towtruck haha

 

Take that snowplow off the front end. It's messing you all up.

 

LOL

 

This has turned into an immature flame war. Guys, stop being so obnoxious to each other.
