[QUOTE="GeeTeeFiveOh, post: 1028111, member: 16584"] I'm sure many will call bs on this but I don't care, just gonna state the facts and hard numbers as I read them. I have no reason and nothing to gain from lying. -Filled up gas tank with shell 91 v-power (I always use this now) -Reset odometer -Drove 370km combination speeding on highway, getting stuck in stop and go traffic, detouring through town, used the car to help my grandpa move (loaded right up for a 30km drive to new apartment) and then hit the highway the whole way back home. -I was tired of moving shit all day and just wanted to get home, drove pretty damn close to 149 km/h the whole way home with no traffic or endangering anyone - it was night time ( @ 150 or 50km/h over limit you loose your licence and get a huge fine - not worth going faster than 149) -I confirmed through GPS on my iphone with the speedometer app that @ a tad over 2000 RPM in 5th the car is doing 150 -I went WOT in 1st 2nd and 3rd maybe 3-4 times throughout the whole trip -My speedo tested to be pretty accurate, it read 5km/h faster than GPS which I understand is normal for any cars speedometer (295/35/18 tires on stock speedo gear) -Got home and filled right back up with the same gas - I had about 5/16 of a tank of gas left on the gas gauge -Car took 37.9 something litres -Rounded up to 38L and calculated 10.1 L/100 or 28 MPG -Mods in signature and I have the 2:73 gears -Nitto NT05 tires which I would guess have a very low rolling resistance (not much tread there) but they are 265 wide front and 295 wide rear -Steeda wing and Mach 1 chin spoiler - not helping fuel economy there. Especially at 150km/h The car is in great shape mechanically new parts everywhere no check engine light or codes - Running stock un-tuned T4MO ECU (tweecer crapped out) I'm pretty happy with my results and can only wonder what I could achieve if I actually did the speed limit and did not have fun. Probably won't ever happen lol Anybody else get mileage like this ?? [/QUOTE]
