I don't know if it's been covered, are you able to come or are you just heading it up and won't attend? @Chen

I don't plan on it. But communicating with the app will probably be best.

Ok, so since it appears we'll be slabbing it all the way up to the top secret underground submarine factory and missile base pre-meet location, who is down for making the drive slower and a little more stressful?!

I'm thinking hyper mile challenge, with all the cardboard aero, seam taping, and truck drafting that generally entails.

Who's in?
For the record my best average for a similar length journey was 35.4MPG without employing any of the aero tricks above.

When I was driving back from the first mega meet, I got 40 mpg cruising 65mph

Woah! That on stock tires/alignment/exhaust? Those are the three areas where I know I'm losing efficiency.

Since the supercharger install I've been averaging 23mpg. Before I was averaging 28mpg. Moar power (or lead foot higher rpms) = more gas.

Jonesy86 · 06-17-2015, 05:39 PM

Even if i hyper mile, i will only get 23mpg. I'm out!

I don't believe you best I have gotten is 31...I average 23 but that's probably cause I drive mostly streets and local...oh and I hit the redline usually once per day

I've been going WOT a lot since the supercharger install and I'm still averaging 24+ with 50/50 city/highway driving.
