Fuel Mileage Experiement 2, Week 1

August 31st, 2009 matt Leave a comment Go to comments

Just wrapped up week one today. Week one was (trying to) drive the normal speed limit everywhere I went. Here’s the results:

Like I expected, not as good as my Grand Prix. But much better than I thought. 27.25 is not too bad for a 3.5L V6 tuned for performance.

Stay tuned for the results of week two, which is driving like a normal person, i.e. 70-ish in a 65 on the freeway, not 65, etc.

not sure knowing what the fuel mileage is would have been worth it considering. That must have been ONE PAINFUL week passing up all those opportunities to FLY by people on the on-ramps

70-ish my eye. If you don’t go 80 I’ll be disappointed in you. And I’ll diss you too.

@Tonia: There’s no speed limit on on-ramps
@Meesh: 70-ish is the target, until my radar detector comes later this week. But I’ve had it over 80, sure. It’s so easy to do that I’ve done that without even trying.
