Thread 28483904

If you're car gets above 16 mpg you're not a car enthusiast.

Orange camaro jap, i know your here.
Show me youres. now.

>>28483904 (OP)
Or it means you don't drive on the highway at all.

>>28483904 (OP)
If your car gets that kind of fuel economy and it's not because it's a V10 or V12, you're an idiot.

>>28483904 (OP)
LMAO nice I guess I fit your description. My 3rd gen 4runner V6 gets 15-16mpg when driving it around town but if I try hard enough and primarily drive the highways and cruise the speed limit of the highway on the slow lane I can get at best 20mpg.

>>28483904 (OP)
That's cute

>>28483909
I've been summoned
I get ~18 in the city but the traffic isn't too bad where I live

>>28484154
>distance 1.5 mi
Nice one man, you did a couple pulls and went back to driving like a grandma
>>28484143
Depends on displacement and vehicle weight more than number of cylinders.
>>28484152
at least it will last longer and sounds better than modern 4cyl 4runnres

>>28483904 (OP)
The Blackwing gets more than that, and it can beat the shit out of at least 90% of "enthusiast" cars.

>>28484143
My EJ20 tends to hover around 13mpg.

>>28484170
>Nice one man, you did a couple pulls
Wrong again, what's up with you faggots? I drove like a bat out of hell for 1.5 miles and then set cruise control and took a picture. That's a 4 cylinder turbo, by the way.

>>28484166
Here are my high scores from other cars.
>>28484152
wtf how. My V8 4x4 4Runner gets at least 20 even in the city

I'd amend that to exclude trucks, so that truckolds wouldn't feel like they care about driving

>>28484201
>wtf how.
Regarding 15-16 MPG around town, I guess I'm just an aggressive driver, I do like to keep up with the cars accelerating from red lights as I don't want to hold up traffic behind me, I dunno I feel like I shouldn't impede traffic too much just dumb things like that.
As for 20 MPG, that is pretty good from even Toyota's original highway speed MPG they listed on their marketing ads and the vehicle sticker specs sheet thing from what I can find online.
From what I can gather the 5VZ-FE V6 engine is just not that economical with regards to fuel consumption, it is joked about having the power of I4 and fuel consumption of a V8 (of that era).

I tried so hard got so far---

Ifyour car uses so much fuel and nothing happens, it seems to be low power.

Honda Jazz, 40 to 50 mpg.

>>28483904 (OP)
If you're car is FR layout you're not a car enthusiast

Bong mpg, which is 16.1 burger. These are pretty much all motorway mpg.

>>28483904 (OP)
My MGB gets 35 MPG on 70mph cruises, which is roughly 29 freedom gallons, and it's the most fuel efficient car I've ever owned, even more so than my Miata. Very surprising to me.

>>28483904 (OP)
dang man, i drive near redline all day on the highway going 85mph and i still get 17mpg in my 4banger.

>>28484690
Buy an 8 banger so you can under the 16 mpg threshold and be a real car enthusiast
>>28484225
trvke

>>28483904 (OP)
Your mom's an enthusiast for my 8 inch dick.

Take me back

>>28483904 (OP)
20 or so is average in my wagon though it spends half of its time getting into or out of car parks.

>>28483904 (OP)
I drop my daughter off at the preschool half a mile away on the way to work and always hit 9-11mpg on that first leg. Do I win?

>>28485174
Nice, what school does she go to?

>>28484225
I'll take my 15mpg elsewhere then :/

>>28483904 (OP)
if you need a gps to get anywhere in a 50 mile/80km of your home you need to go back

>>28484661
That (CCW) Tach deserves to be punched.
It's also a recipe for disaster for the uninitiated.
>inb4 you reply with "it's a good thing that retards don't earn enough to buy one

>>28483904 (OP)
I get about 30 mpg going 60, about 20 at 85, probably as little as 15 nearing 100.

>>28485602
Anti clockwise tach is patrician taste. If someone is so mentally brain damaged that this is somehow confusing, I don't think they should be driving, or even allowed outside without their retard wrangler.

>>28485607
Wind resistance is a bitch, even in a sleek sedan.

>>28483904 (OP)
My Miata can get into the 40s. You must drive like shit + horrible gas hog of an engine. Let me guess, trugg owner from Ford or Chevy? lmao

>2004 Ram 3500
Gets 15mpg on diesel
>96 Nissan Gloria GTU
JDM V6 turbo 16mpg on premium
>99 Mercedes G500
Best I've gotten is 13mpg on premium

Both get pretty similar mileage despite an almost 1000lb difference. Best I've got in the Mustang is 28mpg and 26mpg in the Town Car. My last fill ups averaged 18.8mpg for the Mustang and 15.4mpg For the Town Car, both were basically all city.

My ferd ranger gets 18mpg on a good day

>>28484143
pretty much this. My 5.0L V8 (mercedes M113) can easily get 25-28 mpg on the highway.

>>28485627
>If someone is so mentally brain damaged that this is somehow confusing
You're a bona fide idiot (or troll).
Instrument Scans (such as hammered into pilots) rely upon cognitive "muscle memory".
This CCW bullshit needlessly requires more effort from the driver and thus degrades performance, while also being a distraction.

This is a whimsical and cringe stylistic change, for the sake of being different.

>>28485650
>You must drive like shit
You mean drive fast? get the fuck out of the passing lane
> gas hog of an engine.
Hell yes
>>28485674
>on the highway
Its pretty easy to get this fuel economy by driving around town combined with speeding on the highway

im not a math enthusiast so idk what mpg i get

>>28483904 (OP)
Even if I drive a 30mpg Saturn?

>>28485659
yeah this things not exactly great on fuel.

>>28486079
can't be any worse than mine
>50+ year old 6.3L V8
>3 speed auto
>no lockup converter
>~3700 lb
haven't driven it yet, but can't wait to see how thirsty it is in city traffic

>>28485851
Its not difficult to calculate, just use zero out your trip meter after your next fill up and then when you fill up your gas tank jot down the amount of fuel you filled up to and then take your trip reading and divide by that filled up fuel amount and you will get your mpg from your last fill up and your various style of driving up to your current fuel fill up.

>requires more effort

autism incarnate

>>28486165
What he's saying is he doesn't give a shit and just fills it up.

>>28483904 (OP)
I get about 7mpg on track.
It's a pretty decent number.

>>28486165
no speedo

>>28486323
you mean odometer?

>>28483904 (OP)
car enthusiast

>>28486542
More like a rapist, but WE (you and me) car enthusiasts are all rapists at the end of the day

>>28483904 (OP)
Car enthusiast doesn't necessarily imply performance car enthusiast.

Overall average is 19 but 25+ on highway is possible if you don't drive like an ape

>>28483904 (OP)
I got 15.6 on one tank in the dead of winter during a cold snap where most days were -10F and I had a PCV on the way out. Does that count?

>>28485718
I think you're a bona fide spastic. You think you're a fighter pilot making split seconds choices. You're in a big comfy GT on a motorway. If your brain can't comprehend that I think you perishing is the best thing for humanity. My luddite brain can comprehend going between my daily with a regular tach and this as a weekend car with an anto clockwise tach and registers zero, none in any form of strain in comprehension. If this is an issue, i'd suggest stop eating crayons, or at least change brands that don't have lead or mercury in it...

>>28486341
there's no odometer if the speedo doesn't work

But it's fun

>>28486597
How do i check the instantaneous fuel economy

>>28483904 (OP)
What if I'm enthusiastic about my car maximizing fuel economy and minimizing emissions?

>>28487506
Then you would get an EV

>>28486308
this

if you arent getting sub 10 then you're driving like a granny

>>28486714
Intellectually dishonest drivel.
The CCW design is whimsical nonsense.
>a weekend car
Stick to Uber, retard.

>>28489849
>Said the bus rider
Imagine being so fucking retarded and autistic your brain leaks from trying to comprehend this.

>>28486670
For me it doesn't make any difference, from -10F to 95F with AC on max. 30 at 60. 27 at 70.

>>28485718
How fucking retarded are you that you are staring at the tach when driving
Either you get a big FUCKING SHIFT light or you just learn how your engine sounds and shift based on that.
I can't remember the last time I unironically looked at my tach while solely driving. Sure, while trying to diagnose some weird noise or tuning shit its a nice to have but otherwise its purely on sound and speed.

>>28483904 (OP)
My project car gets 0 MPG
I am better than you

>>28483904 (OP)
gay car having mpg mete.
mine only shows fuel, temp and speed.

>>28490323
Nobody stares at it; it's in your peripheral.

>>28490323
>How fucking retarded
As I have said, it's a cognitive "muscle memory".
You can't really deactivate it.

If I ever come into $, I'm gonna buy one of these and make a Post after I have REPLACED the CCW with a CW.

Look for it...
