Fuel Mileage Update - 4/1/15




With the Talon out of commission, I've noticed my monthly fuel cost has gone up quite a bit. Premium 93 octane is still much higher compared to regular 87 octane fuel. So I decided for this tank, I'd try driving a bit differently.

The conditions for this fill up was


  • On commutes to work, do not exceed 70MPH, and keep RPM's under 3500
  • Shift before 3000RPM.
  • Stay off the throttle/boost as much as possible

I can say I saw slight, maybe even better then small/slight results. 

There was a day however when I was in a rush to work and broke my routine by going 80MPH. Also, there was a event that lead me to a 40 mile highway drive. So I'm not sure if my results are not true. I will be trying again this fill up to achieve the same, if not more MPG this time around.
