Looking for 3 BRZ / FR-S Cars in the Tri-state
 
I'm looking for 3 some what local BRZ / FR-S owners that actually put some miles on their cars.

I'm looking to do a gas mileage testing.

Please email me if your interested

John@Vtune.us

Thanks

John

looks like we need to talk

I'm in PA and put around 1000 miles per month on. Is that enough mileage and in the geographic area you are looking for?

Yup

Do you keep track of your gas milage?

I need someone that doesn't depend on the dash for MPG.

Need someone to fill up the tank and do some quick math

Are you on 91 or 93?

Have you been keeping track of your gas milage?

From Minnesota here, but I drive mostly freeway and track actual mileage every fill up. I have 2200 miles on it and have been running 93 since 150 miles.

Yes, I manually calculate each tank via using the trip meter and dividing number of miles driven by number of gallons purchased. I don't trust the computer in the car. My first tank it was within .2 MPG, but since then it seems that it's off by 1-1.5 MPG's.

The Fuelly thing in my sig shows my actual MPG but my car shows 27.9-28.0. My most recent tank had a fair amount of "spirited" driving so that's why it was worse. I'm actually on "E" now and I'm going to fill up tomorrow so I'll see how efficient this last tank was. My last 3 tanks were Shell V-Power 93 and so was the first tank. In between I believe I had two tanks of Sheetz 92.

Currently at 2100 miles or so if that matters to you at all. Would you want me to drive it as I normally would? As in, normal (shift before 4k or sooner) for the most part with the occasional sprint to redline or conservative the entire time.

Emailed! Local with a white manual frs

hyper4mance 08-01-2012 09:49 AM

Check my fuelly - 93 octane. I don't trust the computer avg mpg since its between 1-2 mpg off. The first few fillups I was having a bit more fun, so the mpgs are noticeably lower.

brichard0625 08-01-2012 11:10 AM

PM sent..I live in the bronx and drive to long island everyday for work..about a 70 mile round trip everyday. i use 93 and calculate my trips using dash, torque android app via bluetooth obd2, and simple math to get an accurate number

Dave-ROR 08-01-2012 11:10 AM

Sadly not in tri state, otherwise I'd be game.

fenton 08-01-2012 12:13 PM

Not local but if you need some representation from Canada and the climate/gas we have here I'm more than willing to help.

Currently at 5000miles (8000km) and have 14 fill ups all tracked on Fuelly :)

Visconti 08-01-2012 03:13 PM

Wow - I got a huge response from this.

I was doing some more thinking.

I'm going to need 5 cars for this test.

I'm in Long Island today - anyone around?

enjoyminutemaid 08-01-2012 06:42 PM

I'm in central VT and always keep track of my mileage dividing trip by gallons purchased (I always stop at the first click off from the gas pump). My mileage has been as hiigh as 34 and as low as 28, but mode is 32. I typically use the same gas station. I've put almost 7k miles on, but that included a road trip to the Tail of the Dragon.

paulieblaze 08-01-2012 07:44 PM

Im in NEPA, I drive about 50 miles a day white manual, let me know I dont track it but I can

Visconti 08-01-2012 08:50 PM

1 down, 4 to go..

Lee358 08-01-2012 08:53 PM

just tell me when and you can be 2 down 3 to go

Laika 08-01-2012 10:23 PM

I've kept track of every single mile, at 3000 now. I'm in PA. I've only ever put in 93 octane Shell V power...from the same gas station and usually one specific pump :D (crazy?)

Shoot me a PM.

Spaceywilly 08-01-2012 11:21 PM

I'm down. Fuelly info is in my sig. Sent you a pm.

tjdiz92 08-01-2012 11:34 PM

I would love to be a part of this. I deliver food in this car so i put on a good amount of mileage and always calculate my own mpg

KAR 08-02-2012 01:21 AM
