what are the optimal shift points for the best fuel efficiency on AP2s?

 

If that worked why don't we just drive 130 MPH and get 100 MPG? No, faster does not equal better miles per gallon.

 

Gas mileage is compromised of many variables. Vehicle speed, engine speed, and throttle position to name a few. Drag does increase with speed but higher engine speed results in better efficiency but more fuel delivered. I beleieve that the s2000 flows so well at higher rpms that the increased drag can be overcome at speeds under 85.

 

Maybe they never check their tire pressure, the tire pressure maybe too low to begine with.

 

ive experienced pretty impressive MPG's when going 75-85 with lots of cruise....close to 30

 

Best milage I got was doing 75-80, I recieved 29.5mpg.

 

No, the car doesn't get better mileage. Drive 100+ all the time and you'll get 15 or so. Now I get 23mpg and never have to worry about the man.

 

I believe that I am the one who made that claim. I drive from Oklahoma City to Dallas and back frequently. On the open parts of the interstate, I usually drive about 80 much of the time -- because that is the speed at which all the other traffic is moving. I get about 26.5 mpg. Once, I made the trip back, shall we say, at a little faster than usual speed. I had just filled up before leaving Dallas. When I got home, my gas gauge showed more gas left than is usuall on this trip. I immediately went and filled up to see what the mileage actually was. It was 29.5 mpg. My only mod is a "ram air" airscoop between grill and radiator that is designed to force air into the airbox, with the help of an AUT rad plate and CAI sealed in place.

I don't know how it happened, can't explain it, but it did happen.

 

Given consistent conditions, I attribute it to either bad math or bad liars.

 

well i have nothing to gain from lieing about something so stupid...just telling what I have experienced....ymmv
