update on MPG

[Christopherrr]

Nothing new, but after all the mods and miles, after a trip to Hilton Head this weekend, I found myself hitting 27.57 mpg cruising around 75. Pretty good if I can say so myself...I know better if I didn't have 3.73s and tuned her up.

Keep the miles going, I love every bit of it.

We almost went to Hilton Head this weekend. We may go in the next couple of weeks.

It's quiet. Relaxing too. Jeff, I have a coupon for Holiday Inn for "Buy 2 nights get the third day free". So if you're up for it, I can mail it to ya. It was $113 a night for me, I'm sure as the weeks go by, it'll be less.

Wow, that's great.

Thanks!

3.73's, A4 and 28 MPG. That's awesome man. How do you get mileage like that??

Honestly, I guess it's keeping up with her maintence. She runs like a champ. Before the trip I replaced the fuel filter and ran lucas injector cleaner a week before. The oil was changed with lucas oil stabilzer added, a new k&n filter, and the tire pressure at 35 psi. With weight reduction and a feather foot on acceleration up to speed, I got 27 mpg. I admit that in mixed city driving, I barely break 23...but when it's open roads and the speed is constant, she breaks will into the 25's. I was surprised to see 27 too...I was hopeful. The last time I hit 27 was my trip to Dallas TX. But I see 25 locally. Yes, I am pansy when it comes to driving her. I'm sure I can get 18-19 mpg if I tried.

I saw a red C6 Z06, MmmmmMmm...we gave each other the thumbs up and he ripped a few revs and took off...my highlight.

Oh, and a gold/copper one...didn't like the color but it was still a Z06.

Thanks!

Thanks for the offer. If we go it will probably be leave Friday and come back on Sunday so that is 2 nights. I'll let you know if something comes up though. I am so ready to get away. This hasn't been the greatest Monday.

I'm lucky if I see 21 MPG combined, and this is mainly highway mileage with an M6. I envy you.
