on the a road run with the guys last month on back roads not even taken it easy i got 29.5mpg.
i'm trying something this tank while drivin to an fro to work, 8 miles of surface streets and a little freeway. short shift [edit; i ment skip shift] using 1st , 3rd, and 5th. all on flat easy roads. use brakes only not down shifting while decel. or stopping. its hard to not just row through the gears, but i'll try my best. |

I'm not pickin' up what you're layin' down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) If that's the case, then why didn't the "new" 1.7L 914's get like 40 - 50 mpg right out of the box? I got 48 - 50 mpg (running lean for sure [vacuum leak city]) running crappy IL ethanol (10%) from Chicago to St. Louis, and it ran like a raped ape all the way without a buck or sputter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif) If your theory was the case, I'd still be on the same tank of gas! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |
