Ayyyyyy!!! East coast driving here.
I steadily seem to get ~240 miles out of a tank if my car's "miles left to E" estimate is correct.
I like to rev it....a lot, but I'm very very weary of getting anywhere near redline. I THOUGHT (as a terribly inexperienced driver) that RPM of 2,250-3,500 would give me best gas milage, am I terribly wrong? These engines seem to love high RPM. |
I might as well sell the top half of my 8.6k RPM range.
Car is getting so little use above 4k rpm its almost embarrassing at this point.
