Best Yet (MPG)

[petrified.rabbit]

how much time do you add to a commute?

[hammsaveo]

I drive 77+mi to work right now and I start at 7 am, I allow 1hr 45 min for traffic and weather flat tire what ever... I get to work at about 6:40 am everyday if not sooner.... My drive home I take my time , pulse and glide all the way unless I reach a hill or traffic is rough. I get there relaxed and ready to go in stead of rammy ram jet off to the races type of a drive.

Keep trying and would be best if you maybe accelerated a bit quicker to get into highway gear then coast in n when possible. Good luck

My best was 42mpg, thats 80%hwy, 20%city, average with light foot on the gas is 35, with heavy foot 30. Good enought for me.

Best was today with 39.17 mpg. I put a K@N air filter in it and new iridium plugs, although those weren't put in when this tank was started. It's about 90% highway driving with 10% stop and go through small towns and Dayton. One way trip is just under 60 miles.

I removed my K&N filter about 6 weeks ago and have stock now. Last 6 fillups are well over 40 mpg.

less air is cutting fuel? was it a ram air, cai or drop in?

[hammsaveo]

K&N makes no claims that their product helps with fuel economy only hp... I could see maybe on a carbed vehicle but not the fuel injected cars now. It is a hp boost which most often means driving harder and wasting mpgs. Google ,six gas mileage myths.....
