Picture of your car (2013)

[iTouch]

I drive my car quite hard, on a 14 gallon tank I get 280 before I fill....Avg 20 mpg, but at the track I get 3-5.....;-)

That's better than what I'm getting and you're driving your car "quite hard." I should be getting 22MPG. On highway, it's great though 30MPG.

 

[rezenclowd3]

Only time I get good highway mileage is to the track, then it gets messed up to calculate as then I drive the track... My 20mpg is about a 50/50 mix of highway/city.

Weight has quite a bit to do with mpg (especially when accelerating quickly) and that newer bimmer of yours is quite a hefty one ;-)

Note: I calculate at the pump, not using the onboard computer as it is terribly inaccurate, especially as I have not tweaked it for my larger injectors...

My fuel tracking
Without all the graphs, overall for the YTD:


Also, I bet my MPG is better as I run quite larger diameter tires than the odometer/computer is calculated for. Its too much hassle to change hack the cluster....

Yup: 2.2% better so I should be @ 21.77mpg

Did some autocross with the car. Miss those days!

Check out the front wheel and how much break dust is on it haha. Brembo FTW

Did you notice an improvement? 16.1 gallon tank and it gets about 290 miles on each tank. Not great at all. I don't drive it hard or anything. That's the only disappointing thing about the car.

Lol I think I would be lucky to get that many MPG

 

[iTouch]

Since the car is rated 22MPG combined, I should be getting around 354 miles on a tank. I'm not. I'm getting a good amount less. Not sure what you drive but for a 2011 that's poor gas mileage.

 

[BeeJee]

Hell yeah. Considering one as a daily driver soon. Waiting for the ATS-V

Uncovered and backed the corvette out of the garage the other day. Looking forward to spring, new tires getting mounted and alignment next weekend

I have this beastie.

A 2001 MGF Trophy 160.

She's quite old but she is in superb condition, and on a long run I can get 44MPG from her.

I do indeed. I just wish there weren't so many speed cameras (and unnecessary speed limit reductions) in the UK.

The Scion FR-S is chick magnet at least for my friend. But the car really feels sluggish. I wish it had more torque. Other than that it's a fun car to have/drive.

Yup sure is a chick magnet I get lots of looks

As for power its good enough for my use..200hp is nice on a light weight car.. im going to flash the ecu/intake/exhaust ect.. to get the most out the motor.. I like all motor cars but turbo/super charger is nice too.. had a evo and spoiled me with awd and turbo..with the frs I actually drive the car I wish it had 240/270hp for the track use.. but I would hardly take it to track..

I think the HP is okay as is. But it needs more torque. I've read people trying to turbo it and it saw little to no benefit. No real increase in performance.

I was thinking the same!

Would be cool if he had realtime readings. I believe there is an adapter for OBDII to 30pin and app.

Yeah that would for sure be sick! I feel like it would be hard to use the iPad with the shifter in the way

Lol yeah was cleaning inside..plus im a small guy amd I can fit in the back seat but when it comes to leg room say bye bye to your foot getting smashed from the front seats..

usually fold the rear seats down.. want to get something for it so I can use the rear for more space to throw my stuff in..
