Yea, 620-ish with Esso, >700 with PetroCan. These are like 95% (by distance) on the highway though. I've also checked that my odometer is not broken using those AMA signs on the highway as well as my in-dash GPS and my iPhone GPS.Originally posted by yipb
620km to 710km?....
can i ask you what you have done to your car/year/mileage?
i run 91 shell in my type s.... i average between 475ish(spirited)-525(normal) i never seen above 550....
Everything is stock in my car, but I'm thinking of putting in an Injen CAI, which should improve mileage (and of course overall performance).
When I first inherited the car from my brother, I got around 550km on a tank of gas (can't remember which brand at the time).
Anyway, I could go into all the details of how I hypermile but basically it's all about anticipation. Anticipate lights, cars in front, cars around you, etc. This is to prevent unnecessary (and sudden) braking. Once you get used to it it becomes second nature. Also, I usually ride in neutral on a downhill, that probably helps. I don't turn off my engine at red lights, I just don't like the feeling of stopping and starting my engine so much. Also, keep a good distance between yourself and the car in front so that when you anticipate cars slowing down in front you can throw it in neutral and let your car slow down that way rather than braking.
I'm still learning really. By the way, some say riding in neutral is bad because it's not safe...is this true?
Also, please don't think I'm wasting my car's potential. I love a spirited drive and I often take corners fairly hard. I just try to keep the gas bill down when I'm just driving to work and back.
