Maybe it's a typo, I'm sure he meant 6500rpms, which is understandable, but I still wouldn't worry about driving the VQ30 @ stock redline for hours. I do it all of the time.

 

+1
Also I like the "xxx miles and x/4 of a tank", not worth anything to me. That's believing newer cars mpg computers.

Miles/gallons=mpg and useable info.
I drive 98% highway, to work I'm cruise control 80-85mph.
The way home cruise control 70-80mph.
168 miles a day.
And I'm currently averaging 23.41mpg.

Caattman ypipe, cattman cai, fidanza flywheel, 5th gen clutch, b&m, recently jwt ecu(hasn't effected my average yet), and Valentine One + remote display

 

I take mine to about redline leaving just about every stoplight and stop sign and at 225K it's still treating me fine

It's an auto, though, so short of leaving it in 1st or 2nd, I'd never really have a reason to drive at redline for any amount of time.

On another note, I only got 19.8 MPG last fillup...I blame starting it a few minutes early to let the A/C cool the car, the short trips between buildings for work, and my lead foot.

 

That's pretty sweet! I'm only getting 200-250 km's per tank, but I guess you could say I drive pretty stupidly. Alot of hard accelerating at green lights, etc.

 

lol yah i think the VQ's break in after 100k miles and more miles the better it runs lol.

 

two times a year i go from north NJ to Monrow MI about 612 Mile fill up in NJ and then again in toledo OH. average of about 34MPG. if I keep it under 65 i can get all the way to Monroe but just barely lol
here is a shot of my scanguage 2 after getting off the hiway about a week ago

95,700 on my I30 right now, so just getting run in

 

on my last two trips from providence ri to albany ny my 5 speed 99 max with 165,000 got 520 miles on a full tank about 29 mpg with cruise on at about75-80 mph runing 87 oct pretty dam good for an older car, thats also with a weeks worth of luggage and my 100 lbs worth of tools for work

 

That's awesome.



I got 320 miles to tank on highway, really windy conditions. I have 18x8 wheels with a CEL for 2 O2 sensors, and a knock sensor.

 

its a gxe with gle interior and the little steelies prob helped too 18 s will rob a little mileage, for a car i got a year ago for 550 and put maybe another 500 in i couldnt be any happier with a max cant beat em
