Gas Mileage on MSPs...

[9394]

Just wondering how everyone else's mileage is on their MSP. I am getting about 500 a tank (Shell Gold). That's a mix of city & highway (65% highway / 35% city) and shifting at about 3200rpm.

That's about the same as I get.

I'm driving to Nova Scotia in two weeks... We'll see how it gets then.

I wish I could get 500, I think I did once out of the 10k that I have, but I also have a heavy foot http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I am getting around 400-450 http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif

i'm close to the 500 mark.

mainly country driving http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif -- commuting into TO.

I can also get about 500km with a mixture of city and highway driving. About 60% city and 40% highway.

Shifting around 2.5K -3.5K.

With the A/C on and temperatures at high 20's low 30's, it's a different story. I think the mileage will decrease about 30kms.

Logan - how is it with a mbc? did it affect your mileage a lot?

9394- i saw you the other day on Dension and Kennedy. You were dropping off a friend at the corner house lot. Not sure if you saw me, but i was on a bicycle. You were also wearing a red cap.

I don;t want to frighten anyone.....But when I go my downpipe done. Gas mileage has tailed off a bit. In fact,
you can literally smell Sunoco 94 ou the tail pipe!

I knew this car ran rich but now? Wow!

The car definitely needs a piggy back to regulate the duty cycle on these injectors. I believe this is the root of the problem this fuel problem.

My other 2 cents is that The intercooler piping is getting so heat soaked that the intercooler is absolutely useless!
Replace the plastic crap, the hesitation will go away.

But that is just my opinion.

9394- I was going to wave 'hi' to you, but i was on my bicycle and you probably be wondering who the hell i am?
Everytime i see you, i'm not driving...so it's difficult to say hi...plus, you look much older then i am. hehe, I'm shy!

Mine is 390km to 430km. 80% local, 20% highway in rush hour. I like the turbo stepped in all the time!

Colourwolf, how are you doing?
Just wondering, did you get into a minor accident lately?
My sister spotted a chinese guy driving a Orange MSP around the Woodbine and Hwy 7 area, a place where you hang out all the time, with a big dent in the rear door.

That's because you've gone from 2 cats to 1!!

I would have thought mileage would have improved, the engine doesn't have to work as hard to push through both cats any longer.
Or do you have a heavier foot now?
