Ok, I know most of you probably don't care how much mileage per gallon you get.

I know most of you are probably going to whine and bitch and say, hey didn't you already make a thread about this already?

Well yes, I did. I don't care.

I'm just so happy of what the car accomplished on a recent road trip to South Carolina.

On the drive up, we averaged 29MPG.

On the drive down, well you do the math. 172 miles on 4.978 gallons. Roughly 34.55 MPG!!!!!

Well before you start flaming and saying, well my stock ITR can do that. Keep in mind that this is with Toda VTEC Killers and Individual Throttle Bodies!

Keep in mind also that I get an average of 22-24mpg in the city.

I'm so happy.

 

wow - that's very impressive!
A great illustration of how important good tuning is

 

That's really impressive knowing how you drive Len.

 

I was averaging about 64mpg, but that was in an Insight

 

Tuning Tuning Tuning and more Tuning

when will people ever freaking realize that its important to get your pos car tuned. they complain about their own setup, and want big *** cams or someother bandwagon part. yet their damn car is still untuned running maybe a vafc

good results len

seems like P1 took care of you good.

 

What was your average speed?

 

I got around 30 MPG with the SS Works FCR carburetor setup before. ITR tranny 4.40 FD going 80 MPH from the bay to LA. 10 MPG City and 30 MPG Highway.

I knew someone was gonna ask. Average speed was 75mph. We occasionally did around 85mph passing people.

 

good deal len!!!!! nice stuff.....

best i have gotten out of a b series is 52 mpg......but we were only going 50 mph....2 of us actually got the exact mpg on that trip....

filled up in lynchburg va......drove 172 miles.....filled up (track day) and put in just over 3 gallons...it was weird....2 cars.....same thing

 

I used to routinely get 41 mpg from Blacksburg, VA to Atlanta on my 88 4dr with D15 and 2.5" exh. Could make the trip door-door almost on a tank.

 

My GSR gets about 35mpg driving in northern VA, mainly highway. Odometer read 335 on last visit to the pumps and I put in 9.5 gallons(topped off). 335/9.5... 35.2 mpg average

 

.....I recall getting 340-360 miles out of a tank with some of yakko's partial throttle vafc settings.

That was with 4.9 final and spec b's too!

 

Nuts... I'm jealous

 

yakko's partial throttle vafc settings.

which ECU?? if OBDII, partial VAFC tuning has no effect.....

Len, what about the infamous 140mph run?

 

Stock 98 ITR, averaged 35.3 for 750 mile trip with one tank over 36. Average crusing speed 65 mph (coming back from SCCA nats two years ago). In daily driving, I average ~30mpg traveling at ~80mph average speed.

Mileage in the ITR is directly dependent to speed. At 60-65 mph you can get 35mpg all day long, but who ever cruises that slow for long periods~

 

I've said it before I'll say it again....
Who still gets no more than 180 miles to a full tank of 94 octane...

 

Yay, pudding snacks for all!!! I can drive to Tampa 3.5 hours away, 230ish miles and still have a half tank left.

btw=how long does the gas light stay on for?

I believe the reserve is 3 gallons. Ever noticed why even at an empty tank you can only fill up 10-11 gallons when the gas tank is rated at 13gallons.

 

Most I've ever put in my tank is 46,5 liters (12 gallons) and then it was getting fuel starved doing 50 km/h up a hill Gas light comes on with 8-9 liters on tank, if I fill her up right after light comes on and stays on it takes 41-42 liters.

Ah, I remember a time when I didn't have my wallet, just my license and no cash or money on me, and I had to make it home with the light on. I kept on looking at that damn light every second. I was so paranoid. Gnarly

29 mpg with that 140 mph pull. Mmm Mmm good!

 

Nice one Len. Hope to see you guys again this week.

 

This sounds sick but Mickey, are we going down or are they coming up this weekend?

 

thats good but i did irvine to san fransico (about 395miles) on 1 tank of gas. so its roughly about 35.91 miles per gallon!
