Gas Mileage.

[Focus]

Some people started talking about it on a social network, which got me wondering. What type of gas mileage do you get in your SCCA play vehicle? Evo's, Miata's, other ST cars, whatever.
Here's mine:
min 25.3
average 30.4
max 38.4

Seems like I have to put in a couple of gallons every time I bring an RX-7 out to play. Probably works out to gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon.

99 miata...
highest ever: 29.4, all interstate back in 2008
lowest ever: 17.0, day 1 at TGPR this year (17-18 usual track day range)
typical daily use: ~24.5 with the crappy "gas" we now have
typical on tank with an autocross included: ~22

in the Rabbito, over the last year

AVG: 23.79
Best: 32.58 (thanksgiving, doing 80, with your old tires)
worst: 19.45

AVG cost per mi: $.108
Total fuel: 505.37 Gallons

fun one right here: Maximum fuel amount: 14.46 (tank is 14.5)
Total cost of fuel for the year 2010 in the Rabbit: $1153.87

Hopefully, we'll see some better numbers for the TDI
Thus far (5 fill ups, 1600 miles)

Avg 33.63
Best: 36.99
Worst: 29.99
Total fuel: 58.72gal


Smartphones are good for something

I haven't really ever put that much effort into calculating my gas mileage as far as min and max... but every time i calculate it, it's between 26 and 28 mpg. Those calculations probably have autox's on them.

27.4 on the street.

5.6 on the track.

For the Evo ... keep in mind this is a combination of 93 and E85 stats, so they vary a bit.

Avg: 15.24
Min: 9.04
Max: 24.15

$0.0173/mile fuel cost.

The GTi ...

Avg: 22.91
Min: 19.11
Max: 27.27

$0.0129/mile fuel cost.

There's an app for that.

Haha, have you seen my phone? The appeal of my phone isn't apps or internet access, it's the fact that it can get kicked by a horse and not break, and that it's water-proof...

I propose a new award for 2011: smiles per gallon. Especially since I appear to be winning. That said, the LTD got 11mpg both times I bothered to measure it, and it should be a good bit worse than that when it's running again with the new motor.

In my family, it depends on who's driving - I average around 25 mpg with the Miata, and Sue gets close to 30.

Going to SC and back, the tow rig got 10 towing the Miata, compared to around 12 without the trailer. After some ignition work, it should do better, but we haven't gotten around to doing a (30-gallon) fill up, since, to compare. It does seem to have more pep - having a coil without 4 big cracks in it made a difference.

with the predictions of $5 a gallon gas prices by 2012, hope the club doesn't start having "economy runs" gas mileage competitions instead of the normal events like they did back in the days of "the fuel crisis"! people were taking two cylinders out of there four cylinder engines so they would get better mileage -- car guys wanting smaller motors, less H.P.--- imagine that!

There's an app for that.

Broke said hard-core phone into two pieces (evidently theres only so much abuse a phone can take...) Got an iPhone with heavy duty cover and extended warranty... Am getting the gas mileage app now along with lots of others I've been missing out on. haha

[Cholewa]

why did you get an iphone?!

[aufoxy]

Cuz I like it. No complaints so far, my parents both have iphones and they havent had any problems either...?
