And come on guys, the sound when you got ~4k rpm and coasting, its sensational <3

woot woot yes its worth it hearing the sound and feeling instead of gas mileage

the main difference I see is if I drive economically I get about 8.5 litres per 100km city and If I have a heavy foot I get up to 10.5 litres per 100km, freeway I get under 8 litres per 100km.

Ive been doing some experimenting on my car and the best i have come up with is 28.5 mpg. This is a mix of street and highway. I achieved this by driving 60 mph on the highway, it is really slow but i get decent mpg. on the street the car has no problem but once you drive 70mph gas just burns like no other.

My suggestion:

Drive 60-65mph, and set your **** on cruise control cause that **** does wonders!!!! werd

wow i didnt think it was the case but i did some googling and bam! it hit me source from popularmechanic q&a on a google search so it cant be wrong right? lol



Q: I have a question about fuel economy. If you are driving downhill, do you save gas by putting your transmission in Neutral and coasting, instead of having your vehicle in Drive? I think that you do but my wife seems to disagree. Can you give me the correct answer, so I can tell her that I’m “Mr. Right,” as usual?

A: That depends. The engine isn’t braking the car going downhill if the transmission is in Neutral, so economy would seem to be high. But if you think the engine is still using fuel while coasting downhill in gear, you’re laboring under a misconception. Most fuel-injected cars turn the fuel delivery completely off when you lift your foot from the accelerator. They still burn fuel when idling in Neutral, so do the math. The amount of fuel burned at idle over, say, a couple of miles of coasting downhill is small, but it’s still more than zero. So if you’re driving a modern fuel-injected car, you’re wrong.

Older, carbureted cars would suck gas through the engine while coasting in gear, even if you turned off the ignition switch. In this case you’d be right.

i get close to 400 every tank!

I get around 400 when I hit empty, but I've been told I drive like a granny.

I drove my car to 425 miles on 13.2 gallons. Thats about 32MPG. I've gotten up to 35. I'm going NC on Friday, and that's like an 800 mile drive. I'll tell you what I get going down there. I'm shooting for 36+.

Also, I'm pretty sure our gas tanks are 15.9 gallons...

just a fyi your in ca. Our fuel has more ethanal then other states so our MPG will suffer.

15% to be exact.

On my 4runner I was getting 15-16 around town, after the switch I was getting 12. Thanks you bureaucratic ***tards.

I'm averaging 22-24 on my GT with mods, but I also slide that car through turns and redline at least once a day.

Your right foot is your best mpg moderator..end of story..

2grand ?!!?!?

i'll never get anywhere! That's like 1 seconds into the gear!

I use Lucas myself. Works like a dream.

Its amazing how the conditions you're driving in effects your fuel efficiency.

In my previous job, I would be driving 60K's one way to work on a freeway. Although the freeway resembled a car park often.

I would comfortably get 600K's out of a tank. The best was 840K's on a tank which included a long 2 hour one way trip up north on a freeway.

Now with my new job, I am catching the train and so only driving to and from the train station and around local on weekends.

Now I am barely getting 500K's on a tank!! Disgusting. Of course that same tank lasts longer now in absolute time, its just not as efficient.
