MPG (KM/L) Rating
 

Hey guys, to keep this thread organized. Please use this form:


MPG :
FI :
Stock :
FI Type/Model :
Boost PSI :
HWY/City :
Shifting Point :
Cruising :
More Info :

You can create your own form around these, but try to answer as much as possible.



EXAMPLE:
MPG RATING: 19.4 (ei)

Forced Induction: YES/NO
Stock: YES/NO
Forced Induction Type and Model: Intake/Turbo/Supercharge and [TYPE]
Boost Pressure (if turbo/supercharge): 5,6,7,8,9…psi
Highway/Freeway/City: Mostly highway, minor city
Shifting Point: 2000-4000 RPM
Cruising City Gear: 4-5th gear @ 2500 RPM
More Detail: I like to waste gas by pushing the acceleration throttle for no reason

Reserved for me :)

do you even know what forced induction means?

Please define "stock" a little better.

un-necessary roughne- ... errm, sorry, still getting over the stomping our hawks gave the 49ers.

soon-to-be-doomed thread carry on..

This didn't last long. By stock I mean when the car has been delivered to you whereas forced induction I mean if you have a turbo or supercharger installed. Stock as in the natural aspirated engine the FRS is built from the manufacturer.


Forced induction, is air forced into the engine by a system of compressed air. Did I write something wrong?

Tunes?

Well if you tuned your car and it has factory parts then mention it. Why are you guys complicating things LOL... So much hate in this world. Everytime you people comment on my threads I start to like dogs better than you humans. Hope in humanity?

GEEEEEZ I was just trying to clarify!
A tune can change mileage so can exhaust mods or tires and wheels and, and, and.
If you just wanted between FI and NA then should have just asked that.


Really dude who is the hater here right now?

Don't be snide bro.. this community just is about what's real. What purpose is this thread supposed to provide? We have tons of MPG threads already. It's no surprise these stock cars get anywhere from 24-27MPG mixed driving, with lower of 20s to highs of 32-35MPG. FI guys typically don't care about variances from stock MPG. If you're collecting data for a project or something, say so, people typically will be happier to help if they see the project or intent is worthy. No need to get crass :)

Or don't reply in the thread if you don't want to be part of it. I know what a forced induction is, I know what a tune is and I know all that. Even if I don't know what it is, I will either research it or ask.


I am just collecting data, since my MPG is 19.8 which is terrible. I shift at 2000-2500... Anyways thanks

What does "Minor Forced Induction Tweaks (Intake Sys)" mean?

If you shift at 2k to 2.5k you're gunna have a bad time

There are many other variables that you aren't considering.

- How far is the daily commute?
- What is the mix of city/highway driving?
- How much of the driving is in heavy (i.e. stop and go) traffic.

As an example, I can drive over 600km on a tank if I am on the highway going from city to city in the summer. During a "normal" week of mixed city and highway driving, I get about 500km right now. If traffic is slow because of snow storms, I get less.

I am having the same problem and everyone keeps telling me on how to increase my mpg from driving habits but that's not the problem it's something with the car. Mine is stock, I drive low rpms all of the time, and I still don't know what's wrong with it.

When do you shift?

Depends. 2/3 of the time, between 3 and 4k rpms and varied engine loads.

Engine load =/= RPMs, by the way. Huge thing to know when trying to figure out fuel usage in the system

I will try that, I don't have any load.

Not cargo load- engine load. In laymen's terms, engine load may be described as the demand placed upon an engine for power. That's an incomplete definition as it relates to automobiles. RPM is not a good indicator of engine load. I won't get into the concepts and perspectives about it all for the sake of simplicity on this thread.

Side note, If you're going into ME/Civil, and specifically working with engines or generators (power industry, like my pa!) then this is a very important concept to know and become affluent with.

Software here ;). Well thanks, I will read about it more. Though, I do understand what you mean.

Reserved for me

This one's for my homies

What do you mean You People?

How hard can you make an MPG thread.

My car gets much less mileage than the typical FR-S, but I don't feel like telling you anything more.

Affluent?

.

Well, yes, being affluent would actually be very good!

Was crossing up competent with its fiscal relative, ha.

Agreed. Being affluent is advantageous in almost any circumstance.
Bragging about it only works in the US, by the way.

By the way, I voted "Engine Swap" hoping to restore OP's hope for humanity. Or feed his rage. Whatever.

Never trust a fart.

Typical foreigner dig. Nobody here was bragging about it so idk where that even came from. Meanwhile the entire EU, Russia, China even is crumbling as the bureaucrats and crony capitalists there truly rake in the riches :thumbsup:

and vikings

Ooof. Forgot that demographic :bonk:

It was just a friendly advice for bragging affluent Americans. Don't take it personally, I'm sure you're not one of those.

I am a person of America, I don't take it personally, but it is funny that non-American people are oft quick to point fingers at us while not recognizing we're humans just like they are, the same basic life ingrediants, and same human capacity for error and greatness both. :respekt:

And after black friday shopping for this thing, I certainly am not :iono: :D

Do farts have lumps?

You know what? You should make a poll on that question!

Ok. I meant no offense, just to make that clear.
We good?
