So I calculated my gas mileage yesterday...
 
And being very light on the throttle, and not exceeding 65-70mph, my 1992 Honda Civic with 317,000 miles gets 52.94 mpg.

That was across a 59 mile trip for good measure.

This was downhill the whole way or what?

So, you used slightly over a gallon of gas driving an economy car in neutral, downhill, off a cliff.

I'm not sure if you're bragging, or begging for change.

It was from Rocklin to Sacramento and back. It's flat as hell.

Were you drafting off of a semi?

No, in fact when I was heading back, I hit rush hour traffic.

I'm a smartass by trade; I just do computer stuff on the side. :thumbsup

Those are some great skills you have. BUT I beat you. I was able to get 99.9 miles to the gallon on my 2006 Nissan Quest. Ok it was only for a few minutes, but was able to get my reader to display 99.9 to the gallon. My wife wanted to kill me... as she couldn't deal with my driving...

My best is 32 miles to the gallon sustained, but do give me some props, we are talking about a huge V6 mini-van, that normally does 16 miles to the gallon.

xenigo 08-19-2008 06:31 PM

32mpg for a V6 mini-van isn't too bad.

But to Camgirls who says I'm bullshitting... I 100% counted on someone saying that. So in the name of keeping the numbers true, I had a witness in the car.

And when I came back to the pump to determine the fuel consumption, I even filled up at the very same pump I was at previously.

This isn't some sort of fluke, BTW. I can do it repeatedly. But keep in mind I keep the car in top tune... most people with old cars don't really care about making sure the car keeps running.

I'm still trying to figure out why you're proud of having an old car with a faulty gauge and shit memory for refilling the tank.

I get all happy when my mileage guage goes up to 13 mpg, usually it sits around the 11.9 to 12.9 mpg range :2 cents:

Jon Clark - BANNED FOR LIFE 08-19-2008 07:29 PM

23.4 mpg is what I just got on a 300 mile trip... In a 1989 probe... Which is actually better milage then it got from the factory... :)
