Went to New Orleans and got pretty good gas mileage

I went to New Orleans last week and I got 361Miles to 3/4 of a tank. I did not get a chance to empty out the complete tank since I had my wife kid sister and mom in the car. They always got to stop every two hours and do their thing and made me fill up. Tunning that SAFC really helped out. My average speed was 80-85MPH. My Gas mileage should go up now since I got a new mod in there. Alloy flywheel.

on one tank on a recent roadtrip i took, I averaged 29.5mpg cruising same speed 80-85ish - gotta love turbo + longer 5th gear

somehow i have also been able to achieve incredibly bad gas mileage (single digits anyone?) when I would only take my car out at nights to "play"

so i guess it all balances out now? haha

did you by chance check your mpg when you filled it back up ?

no I didnt check, one thing is that my sister had traveled 137 miles and only 1/4 of a tank of fuel was consumed. I did not track the mileage leaving the gas station to my house which is about 7 miles. My mom is pretty big about 170lbs, kid only weighs about 3?lbs, my sister about 130lbs my wife is probably about 135Lbs and had a trunk load full of crap. And still got this great gas mileage. I was shocked myself. Air flow was @ 13%-16%, going up hills the car would boost 1PSI and then drop once the road flatened out. Prior to to tunning I know when I was halfway to Alabama I filled up, spending about $90 round trip. Now it was one fill up @ $18.00 about $40 round trip.

Tunning the SAFC was worth the $150.00 an hour. I have not filled up the car either but taking it easy on the gas pedal also saves fuel.

Glad you stopped by Jaime. I was happy to see you again. I missed you and Matt. No real Maxima enthusiasts down here since you guys left. I think there might be a few up in Baton Rouge, but not many down here in New Orleans. Anyway, too bad I didn't get a chance to get a ride in your car since it's much faster now.
