So I was driving on my 14 mile stint from my parents house this morning back to my apt. and I did a little experiment !

I reset the ave mpg computer setting and did 4 miles at 60mph
~got a reading back of 33.4 mpg !

then I took it another step and decreased my speed in the city zone to 50mph. again reset the mpg screen and waited another 4 miles.
~got a reading back of 38.8 !

now I know this is an ave based on a certain amt of time and then computed somehow blah blah... but I think those numbers are amazing and deserve posting on here.

Of course keep in mind I did wash and wax my car while I was at my parents so maybe that had something to do with blasting thru the air like an airfoil

PeAcE !

 

So if you slow down you use less fuel?? Hmmm I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that EVERYONE knows that already.

 

but would you have guessed 38mpg smartee ?

 

WOW I still am yet to reset my fuel eco screen still says 17 MPG evertime I check it. Maybe I should reset it ans see what it says I accually get?? 38 MPG holy crap.. Looks like a 4 Cyl Civic.. LOL

 

Yeah, I would
