Fat Charlie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Mostly stock, except I changed the 215/45/17s at 819 revs per mile to 215/50/17s that only take 792 revs per mile. So while the car thought it only went 502.1 miles on that tank for 31.4 mpg, it actually went 519.17 for 33.5 mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnguyenbb6 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 You guys are ridiculously brutal. Do none of yall have after market wheels? If so, your odometer is off by a certain percent also. I've seen people get different sized tires for faster accel or more gearing at during AutoX's too. Bottom line: 33.5mpg is pretty impressive. I'd never run my car that low though.

BDII Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 did you use just the MPG read out or did you tabulate actual fuel consumption? Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeleodee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 ^ c'mon. We all know that the read out is dead-on-balls accurate. I doubled the size of my injectors and now I'm running over 40 mpg in the city. That's pretty good increase just changing one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doccrowley Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 No performance or dyno or power numbers here. Congratulations, you drive like a grandma and insult the GT to the highest level. Now put on some real tires and enjoy your car a little more! Here is an example of some performance: http://youtu.be/2SCDuoU2Tig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doccrowley Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 False. You drive an automatic. Yep. That auto beat every EVO and STi and was 2nd only to a highly modified Porsche 911 turbo. Back on topic for the Performance/dyno numbers/track times thread and see some more performance from the 30+mpg GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planelazy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 1st of all, that's not performance.. that's fuel economy. 2nd, if anyone here was really concerned about fuel economy, they wouldn't have bought an LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Charlie Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Time for tank #2. 470.5 miles on the clock, the oversize tires stretch that 486.497. Yes, it's silly to go to the thousandths place but I let those numbers ride and do any rounding at the end. 15.015 gallons makes it 32.4 mpg for the tank. Not as good as the last one, but there was a big traffic tie up on Monday and it's been raining like crazy here lately. BDII- The mpg readout is really accurate. Back in 05 I checked it against pump receipts for a while until I decided I was just wasting my time. Last year when I started working on mileage it recalibrated itself to cover the higher numbers I was getting and now it moves in increments of 0.3 mpg. It makes a great guide but to calculate for real, especially with a different tire size, you have to use the pump numbers. doccrowley- Mileage isn't about going slow. My grandmother could never have gotten these numbers out of a car- of course, she could shift her own gears... LAGT- I can pull over 500 miles out of my tank. What can you do? planelazy- Fuel economy is performance. It isn't performance that you can buy and pay someone to install for you; it's performance that depends on the driver and requires an attention span longer than 1/4 mile. You're completely right that nobody buys these cars for the mileage and I didn't either, but I've been doing the same commute since before I bought this car and trying to shave time just isn't all that rewarding. This is entertaining as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doccrowley Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mods, can we please move this thread to something other than the performance/dyno tune section? Possibly the who gives a sh*t thread?

Strizzy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 430awhp and I can get 28mpg driving normally (not hypermiling, and I rarely drive the speed limit) running 100oct. But since I don't give a shit about gas mileage, I actually enjoy driving my car. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
