[s-cars] Re: HCs and MPGs

[Mark Pollan]

Absent a GPS this could be comparing bananas and pineapples no?  Sometimes
when I'm on the interstate and not being entertained or sufficiently
entertaining myself, I'll use the mileage markers to check both my elapsed
mileage and speed.  Neither my speedo nor my odo tie with either my Omega or
Tag Heuer and the mileage markers.  Yes I am assuming that all of the
previous 3 are accurate but...

That said, I only have recent memory of odo vs. fill-up with a 19 mpg
calculation.  I'd love to pick up 5 mpg = 100 miles per tank without
altering the behavior of my right foot.

Serge,

I'm getting about 24 MPG in semi-mixed (some
2 lane, some 4 lane, some typical suburban NYC)
highway driving, doing typically in the mid 70s).
Car is Mihnea tuned stage 1, and surprisingly, no
change between the snows and summer tires. Brakes, 
BTW, are fantastic. And emissions were well in spec,
even before my first change, when I first got the 
the car. Car was fully warmed up when the car was
smogged though.

Oil at about 2200 miles, car was NOT warmed up properly.**  So perhaps with
fresh oil and a properly warmed up car I could have done better. I think the
high HC and low MPG are related, though the car runs great, and if everyone
out there is getting less than 20MPG with an MTM stage 1+, I can stop
chasing my tail.

I know this has been done before, but I don't believe it was specific to any
state of tune. 

So MTM stage1+ or equivalent, what's your highway cruising MPG??


** warmed up properly = glowing EM accompanied by the fine aroma of clutch.

TIA
