My gas mileage from the revolution trip hehehe

just a tid bit of info wasting bandwidth

going there on Friday afternoon (roughly 310 miles) mixed city and highway 21.3 mpg

autocross (running 8 psi) Saturday plus some city driving 13.7 mpg

roadcourse (running 13 psi) on Sunday was a whopping 8.0 mpg plus 1 qt of oil (need a catch can!!) and somewhat high but steady coolant temps (next mod - bigger rad and dual oil coolers)

trip back home Sunday night mostly highway cruising at 75-80 mph was 22.6 mpg

overall the Revo was so much fun even with the not so good weather!!

I got an average of just over 20 mpg over the whole entire trip. Not too shabby considering i was having a little fun on the way from columbus to indy, and once i got to indy . 1650 miles total trip.

I'm always too lazy to calculate. So you mean we don't get that 25 mpg highway that the EPA promises?! Figures.

In stock form I got anywhere from 24~27 highway cruising at 65 mph

Now that the car's modded, almost 23 cruising at 80 is something I wasn't expecting
