1000 Kilometers, and I had to squeeze every drop into the tank to get 100 Liters to fit in!

Checked on the way back , and for the same 1000K I could only get 98 liters to fit!


Anyway you slice it.... that's some great economy. 8 mountain passes, some stop and go Vancouver traffic, and peaked at 24.14 mpg!!!!!!

All hand calculated, at the pump. SMARTY is making me SMILE!

Level 5, RP#2, Timing 4, Turbo=Off, shift lim off, RPM Stock!


Of course I made sure so shift at 2200 rpms religiously and use Cruise control whenever possible!

Worst part was the Kootenai Mountain Pass... Water temps were 190F and Oil temps were a BLAZING 230F on the long climb side, and I wasn't even towing!

Tire pressure was 68 PSIG Cold, Airbags were nominal at 35PSIG.

IE SP62/14 Stock intake and exhaust, and the kitty is still there too!

Bob, Marco, Thanks for the help!

 

That is awesome. The best I have to date is a hair under 21 mpg hand calculated.

What kinda grade is Kootenai Mtn Pass?

 

Nice numbers....are you running tnt/r?

 

Yessir!

And keeping speed of 65 mph helps. Stock tire size. Toyo HT's

 

7-10%. You climb about 6000'

 

shift limiter off???? How come

 

Just because of the manual transmission... i did not want to give the computer too much to think about!

 

We just got back from a vacation. We drove from Katy Texas to Hot Springs Arkansas and it was 452 miles. I hand calculated the milege and figured it to be 22.6 MPG. We kept the speed just under 70mph. I think thats pretty good.

which version of the tnt/r? 5.1 or 5.3
you had timing on level 4?

 

Latest REV on MADS website.

 

Ok, now I'm confused. tnt/r is not available for download so were you using tnt or the revo. The reason I'm asking is timing #4 on the tnt tunes are low timing meant to be used with nos but the revo #4 is the highest timing level.

 

Hm. I might have to go out and check my revision, now you have me going WTH?


At any rate, i will stress that I was consciously trying to eke out the most mileage.

Combined with the settings, you have to practice restraint, and maintain momentum as best you can. A 10 mph headwind would have made the difference between 19.5 mpg and what I ended up with.

In terms of absolute economy, you can control everything but the windspeed and direction.

 

is this Us gallons or imperial gallons

 

sounds like some good mileage

 

Well there is an online calculator for that but i will save you the trouble.

but 10L/1000kms works out to 23.66 US mpg.
