I think i get horrible gas mileage. My DIC said 272 when i filled up. I got to fill up twice a week :thumbsdow. But here is my question. Is it better to drive at high rpms out of boost or low rpms in boost?

I'm not trying very hard to be a dick on this one. Here's a general rule I've developed in my 23 years on this planet.
Higher RPM w/ Throttle == Higher Fuel Consumption With very few exceptions, I've found it to be true. |

ok let me give you s situation. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING, lets say im in 3rd gear and i come to a hill and corse you gotta use more throttle to get up this hill, now you are at 4k rpms out of boost and if you switch gears to 4th to maintain the same you have to put more throttle putting you in boost at lower rpms. Which is better for fuel economy?
Although, things may be different in an SC car. |
27.8 daily driving....spirited, daily driving
22.3 .....you don't wanna know. |
31.3mpg with my SS/SC :)
|
I wanna see driver information center averages. Thats whats up
|
Well I have an auto 2.4, and drive rather spirtedly in the city. I get 22 avg with my avg speed being 25 :lol:
|
30ish when it's all said n done.
|
I'm averaging roughly 25-27.5 city driving. Have yet to see what I average on highway.
|
After some fine tuning under normal driving, I get 37mpg on average per my DIC. 38.5mpg by my math skillz
|
31 or 32 mpg on average.
|
My last 4 tanks averaged with the DIC is 30.3.
2.4 manual trans |
I get about 34-35mpg now that I am tuned and the highest that I have ever got was 40mpg.
|
2.2 auto with a lead foot...
I get 26-28 range most of the time. |
in my 05 2.2 5spd cpe i am normally getting 32-34mpg that is a mix of in town and highway, goofing off too. my personal best is 39.8mpg no goofing off, no wot, in town and highway. i am more than happy with that!
|
I average about 33-35mpg in my 2.4 98% percent highway. lol. cruising at 120 for half and 110 for the other half.
I am also heavy on the right foot to get up to speed... so that hurts mine a bit... |
0, my engine currently can't move my car. lol.
|
my dic says im gettin 34 mpg, bullshit, i did the math 10 gallons, 285 miles
ever since i went stage 2 my dic mpg has been off worse did anyone else get that? |
I seem to only be getting 22/23 highway. I usually drive casually shifting around 2200-2500 rpms and keep a steady speed around 80 mph...does this seem norma with 93 octane?

i have a feeling alot of these high averages arnt "averages" some1 just put there car in cruise control at 40 mph and looked how much they get at 40, the mpg INST or whatever. No way there averages. my 2.2 got 31 mpg average driving from NY to NC. as soon as i got back i reset it and it went down to like 27.5 around town. i just feel like alot of these numbers are exagurated
|
Why am I the only fool that seems to only get around 18-19 mpg in a 2.4? Or is it that Staten Island really has too much stop and go compared to other cities? I don't get into 5th often either and I drive mostly local 30mph roads. (max 40) Not much of highway at all.
