Talking Post A Pic Of Your Best City Mileage.

This is the best I could muster on the last tank of gas. All city. 40-45MPH on the street. 40PSI all around. Mirrors folded in. Driving like a granny on valium. No hills:



Not too shabby.

I'm going to air these grapplers up a bit just for you, lol. I can't get over 17 on the freeway, and you're telling me thats city? Does your city have permanent greenlights? I always got my best mileage around 55-60mph, and I would hit 22mpg or so on the freeway with that, and about 20 roadraged californian's behind me

I'm so glad you asked. Yes, our lights are timed fairly well and my commute isn't stop and go.

I'm supercharged, lowered, and have street tires, so that makes a TON of difference. Less friction, less wind resistance, and better all around A/F mix.

I was contemplating an aluminum tonneau cover, but I've heard conflicting reports on whether they really help or hurt economy.
