Have I set A new NA SW20 record?

Roman · 07-29-2006, 12:53 AM

For shocking fuel economy?

290kms of travel, consumed 43 litres of 98 octane....

6kms per litre, or in caveman terms 14 miles per gallon.

However from the time I had a full tank, to the time I refilled it with 43 litres, I was only ever taking the car out for a cane the whole time.
That's 290kms of damn good fun right there.

When driving sensibly however, it's actually more economical than my gen 2 3SGE, so I cant complain!

Yikes! What do you guys pay for gas in USD per gallon?

osoRiceMR2 · 07-29-2006, 03:11 AM

$2.97 for 87
$3.07 for 89
$3.27 for 93

crazy right!

Not really.

You are taxed a lot less on gasoline then we are in Washington.

And a TON less then they are in BC.

Mister2.2 · 07-29-2006, 03:43 AM

I remember paying something like 97 cents a gallon, and that was not THAT long ago. I wish we could go back to those prices,

SpeedballTrix · 07-29-2006, 05:13 AM

~$3.25/gal here on Long Island.
It was above $3.50 a few weeks ago.

Im a bit of a youngin (22) but I remember in HS I could fill my ten gallon tank and get $5 back from a 20.
$15 to fill my tank and now its close to $30.
And that's only over about 5 years.
I cringe to think what it's going to be in another 5 if things continue as such.

On topic, Exxon hit record profits the other day, bringing in over 10 Billion in the second quarter.

I managed 8mpg with a tank of gas in my MR2 when it was 5sfe-powered. I was going about 120mph for nearly the entire tank.

i thought it was gonna be about highest HP... common you guys can get over 210hp if you try hard enough

Roman · 07-30-2006, 06:14 AM

Yep well I'm gonna take mine to the dyno the first opportunity I have.

Do you mean 210whp, or 210 at the fly? I would assume WHP.

Mine's fairly standard though, my grunty engine wont be in the car for quite some time yet.

BTW 'Celica RA45' is alledgedly pulling 240whp now, but I havent been able to get hold of him to get an up to date dyno plot.

Also he's doing a 13.1 second quarter mile with a 3SGE, not a bad effort for a car that isnt set up for that at all.

PHOENIX · 07-30-2006, 07:30 AM

i have the dyno plots, ill post them up in the dyno page within the next day

lander · 07-30-2006, 03:48 PM

I am paying 35 CZK for 1 liter of 100 octane fuel. 35 CZK is 1,57 USD. 1 galon is 3,785 liters. So result is 5.94 USD for 1 galon of 100 octane fuel.

Wow almost 6 bucks, does that include your insurance coverage?

We don't have anything like ICBC here.

If you don't pay for insurance from a seperate, non-government-subsidized company, (Not like any other kind of insurance company exists in the States) you don't get insurance.
