Guest Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Easy now......... No problem cruising @ 72mph getting 32mpg with the SZ55. Calculated or on skewed trip computer due to larger injectors? No way stock LGT gets 28 mpg @ 80 mph. No effin way, unless you go downhill and with tail wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMER DOWN Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 30 mile trip to work is KILLLLLING ME! If I piss off every single person on the road behind me and take 1 hour to drive home I can get 29-30 mpg average. My top speed the whole way is about 47 mph haha. 5th gear at 1800 RPM's is about the best gas mileage I can get. That's all, I avg. 24mpg on my 100 mile round trip to work. It take me 50 to 60 min. to get to work. 0nly 40% is innerstate highway.The other 60% is rural highway, with small town every 5 to 7miles. Slowing down to 30 & 45mph. I fill-up twice a wk.

AirSix Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 These mileage numbers are all over the map . I thought it was pretty clear the trip computers are worthless. Mine reads 24.9 to 25.9 average which is easy driving on a 80/20 hwy/non hwy commute. My calculations are running 22 average pretty consistently. Where's my Turbonator? I tell myself that an N/A Forester is just an STI without all the fluff like, power, handling, style, racing heritage, and curb appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER DOWN Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I checked mine. It's with in, less then 1 mpg. And a note to the APv2 user's. I drop my shift light to 4k. Help me to keep the rpm's down. The STi 6MT is really close togother the first 3 gears. It's nothing to shift above 5k, it happens so quickly. If I shift at or before 4k for 1 hole tank. I seen 26.5mpg, that's not fun as letting her Rev. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoggydog Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I traveled about 350 or so miles this weekend, all highway with some grades. In "I" mode and doing about 65-73MPH, I averaged around 27.5 miles per gallon. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanatech Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 40mpg in a legacy??? where do you people come up with these numbers, not hitting boost. on average its around 28-30. interstate going 70 ~ 35 with a semi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 ^ How do you drive? That's pretty impressive. 08 is geared differently which helps with the economy, but I don't tell us you drive 80 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirSix Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm curious if folks are dividing their ranges properly. Unless you're running your tank dry you shouldn't be dividing by 16.9 gallons. Am I Mr. Obvious? I tell myself that an N/A Forester is just an STI without all the fluff like, power, handling, style, racing heritage, and curb appeal.

rouar Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I get ~27-28 when driving 60mph (not my choice; slow traffic). I get ~25-27 when driving 75-80. I drive like a freaking grandmother btw, except from toll booths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm the one gettin my granny on around town I havent topped 60 in weeks.. its killing me. I use the trip comptuer, I dont care if its a little off. If I want to get a different reading I generally subtract the miles driven from the gallons put back into the car when I fill up every time. Its been close enough to the trip meter that I dont care to verify it anymore. The BEST I seem to be able to do with city driving is 22.9, it balances "on the edge of a knife.. sway but a little and it will.."well you get the idea. accelerating too hard makes it drop rapidly. (too hard as in.. 2500 rpm vs 2k rpm..

DAFTEK Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 A lawmaker says U.S. taxpayers are being bilked to the tune of millions of dollars by a biofuel subsidy that helps to lower gas prices in Europe, and he's leading the charge to close the apparent loophole. The scam is known as “splash and dash.” It stems from an existing $1 subsidy for every gallon of biodiesel fuel blended with regular diesel in the United States. “Taxpayers should be outraged because they are subsidizing foreign consumers of biodiesel,” said Shadegg (R-AZ). “That is insane, and it’s a ridiculous burden to put on American taxpayers.” Full story and details: http://www.foxnews.com/printer_frien...366601,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iyalla Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Bullshit Xenophobia at its best ^^+1 We are getting so much crap stories out there now its not even funny. The real reasons for high oil prices are pretty simple but nobody wants to believe it. It has to be something more sinister, something more complicated and there has to be a scape goat, preferably somebody non-American so we can vent:rolleyes: The way these stories come out its like how the scam artist came out when Bush announced the rebate checks.

Jerboa113 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 what's to wtf about that? its a piggyback ECU like jetchips or bullydog or.. name your company here. Except its focus is E85 retuning. FOOD based ethanol is NOT the solution however....... ya know I saw a news article the other day about microbes that can eat waste and produce oil. If they could make that work, we could solve all our oil problems and not have to change a thing. The environmentalists wouldn't like that tho.. since they're SO CONVINCED that humanity has caused every problem thats ever existed.. ever..

HOWEVER, the amount of abuse/redistribution/squandering of tax monies through the impossibly complex layers of the system is massive, to the least. Is it true? No idea. Would it actually shock me? No. If it is true, it SHOULD BE shut down. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
