B3 MPG from my B6T!

[bhazard]

My dad has a mark viii, he gets (according to the computer onboard) 13 mpg, haha!

Probably a lot of city driving. They suck in town, though going to a 4.10 gear could help by getting it to the higher gear/torque converter lockup sooner.

Whats it run in the 1/4? That 4.10 and the cams are probably hurting you pretty bad. 30+ hwy shouldnt be too hard. Used to get that in a Mark Viii with a dohc 4.6 and auto.

Actually, my fuel ecomony INCREASED with the cam install.

My '93 grand marquis gets 19 city and (for a huge car) 28 highway! Once that boat gets rollin, it's not hard to maintain speed. I bet if I drove like a grandma that just heard a story about johnny who got in an accident (then she'll drive REALLY slow), I could weasel out a city calc in the low 20s.

I hypermiled my GT for a full tank.

I got 28.7mpg. Very happy with that.

Then I unloaded the left foot at 4,000 RPM and blew 3 festivas off the road in a blast of acceleration and unburned 93 octane hydrocarbons.

Thats alot better than i get in my Edsel, I might get 17 if I Hypermile in that thing, somewhere close to 7 if i am having fun mashing the gas down to the floor. Thats why I love my Festy, that 50 MPG makes all the difference!

Well my next fillup will probably be something like 30 mpg if you know what I mean. This thing is just stupid fast now.

But I really cant afford the gas, wear and tear, and tires lol. So I try to stay civilized with it.

Thats the spirit!!

WoWie ZoWiE! That sure is some good mpg! You should be beating on that thing instead of putting around like an 80 y/o woman, lol!

Well done! You obviously know what you're doing.

Thanks. Pretty soon I'll get some numbers on the Festiva and post them up.

53 MPG is my personal best. 93 EFI five speed, level route, little wind, 45 -50 mph. The speed limit on the road was 45 MPH.

[Damkid]

How did you accomplish that? Lots of coasting and other hypermiling tricks?

my idea of hypermiling is something similar to warp speed :evil4:

I joined in with a MPG rally and here are the results. I was driving my 2009 Honda Fit Sport M/T with an EPA rating of 27-33 MPG. After 115.2 miles in the mountains, I burned 2.091 gallons and it averaged out at 55.0933 MPG. We started our trip at a gas station where I topped the tank off at the brim of the filler neck because just going to "the first click" is NEVER accurate. We made a 115.2 mile ROUND trip to, and around a local national park in the mountains. There is no "it was all downhill" crap because we went up and back on the same roads. Made it back to the same gas station and filled up on the same pump for accuracy. I also topped this tank off at the brim of the filler neck.


My mods were, tires are inflated to 60 PSI, Mobil 1 full synthetic, and an extremely light foot.
