hmm. 00 ive seen over 30, best is usually 33 mpg

are you OEM everything including tune? Ive never seen upwards of 25ish all freeway miles.

Also, how are you calculating your MPGs? Are you making a full spreadsheet or at least doing top-off to top-off?

starchland

drop in filter and tein s tech. oem tune.

I reset my tripometer after every fill up. Always same gas station brand, usually same style pump and I try to use the same pump if I can.

Are you using Imperial or US gallons to measure it?

Probably Imperial, which means you're getting more MPG than the equivalent US, especially if you're in Canada.

33 Imperial MPG = 27 US MPG if my calculations are correct.

US gallon. was actually in the states for that tank too, nice try though.

That's if you're going 60-65 the whole way... drag decreases MPG a whole lot past 65 MPH.

damn, I do not understand why mine is getting so different numbers from yours.

MY01, runs rich but runs good, valve tolerance is perfect, alignment is slightly aggressive, dropped lightly, test pipe and KN intake, running 32-35 PSI (cold), burns normal amount of oil..

totally dont understand why you're getting nearly 50% better mpgs than I.

Ambient temp: ~80s-90s consistently, humidity is almost always 60-rain%, sea level, crappy roads.

usually shift around 2.5-4k depending what gear/where I am.

on the freeway, I get perhaps 25mpgs while cruising around 55 in 6th gear.

---edit---

im not a mpg freak or "hypermiler" just wondering why theres such a large difference.

Cruising speed impacts MPG exponentially. Other things that hurt mileage are low altitudes, cool temperatures, low tire pressures, poor running condition, and / or having the top or windows down.

I've gotten 29mpg all highway in my '01 AP1 travelling about 65-70mph. Normally I do about 50/50 city/highway and get about 22-23 mpg. I do step on it every once in awhile. As long as I'm getting over 20mpg, I'm cool with it.

SpitfireS

Driving 90% highway - 10 % city I get between 25.9-27.0 mpg.
Cruising around 75 mph on the highway.
With 4.57's / OEM'00 ECU

My sec O2 is now 10 years / 180.000 km old.
Prim O2 is from '05.

Would an O2 sensor be considered a "wear" item?
