Get the FPR swapped before it blows your car up. Because.. it allows fuel into the intake manifold and all it takes is one little spark.. BLAM the intake is going to be a fireball. Seen it.. it's bad.

As for your fuel mileage, the problems are the type of driving you do (sounds like all around town) and your right foot. There's a reason fast starts are discouraged by tree huggers. By driving the way you are now.. you'll likely get much better.

Plus..your math sucks. If you are getting approximately 200 miles on a tank and you are only putting in 13 gallons that's 15mpg roughly. Which still sucks. I'd also bet you are using regular, not super. If you have knock stock.. which most do and you drive it hard, you'll be on the low octane timing tables and that robs you of mpg as well.

I'd like to get the FPR swapped, but it's expensive, and I don't have money to be spending all the time. The math was just to give an idea that I have terrible fuel economy. For the test I'm doing, I'm not flooring it all the time and not driving in a way that pushes the car. I put in 87 every time, should I use 89? And yes, 90% of my driving is city driving. I also avoid starting it for 10 minutes before I leave every morning too, just so it's not drinking gas all the time.
 


Re: Toasted Meatball Sub with Spicy Mustard

Toook ya too long to figure it out.

As for the FPR.. have you considered a used one? I am pretty sure if you ask Scotty to look in his box of crap, he might have one for the cost of shipping. And.. I know it to be good.

I didn't know if buying a used one was a good idea or not. But then again, I only thought about JY regualtors. I will ask Scotty later if he has one.

Isn't his car na? Do the na cars have a low octane timing table?

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles

Spicy mustard lol yea not as funny as pickles. I'm seeing the innuendo now. Toasted was a nice touch, I thought.

Checking mileage daily just won't be very accurate. Likely to vary widely, just sayin'.

One of these days I will get my revenge lol. How come checking the mileage every day isn't accurate? It's just to show my daily routines and give an idea as how far down the tank I am.
 
Re: Jared's 2001 GT

To me, the variables are maximum when topping off the tank daily and making all short trips. In my mind, a more accurate figure would be from refueling as few times as possible over as many miles as possible then averaging those numbers. I get that that approach isn't for you. I'd just urge you not to expect much helpful info from the data you're collecting. Everyone's thought processes are different and I don't even pretend to understand them all, so you keep on truckin'.
