Best tank to date

[GasSavers_Kraig]

Had my best tank to date. Got 54.58 mpg out of the Festy My goal is 60 ..... Them maybe I'll get a Supermid and some more aero mods.....

You can buy my supermid!

Awesome! I'm hoping to figure out how to do a 40!

Nice Kraig! I just advanced the timing a bunch in the Xtiva and hope to get up in that range soon. Haven't put 60 as my goal yet....just broke 50 and would like 55mpg next.

By the way, your past 5 fills on your gas log are impressive! Very consistent!

Good to see another Festy on here!! I was the only one for awhile. I'm looking for another one for my wife to drive instead of her gas hog Astro! We're gonna park it and use for trips or when all 4 kids are going with us somewhere. What have you done to your Festiva?

I'm impressed, I'm having trouble breaking 45mpg in my CRX. What speeds are you averaging and what other FE driving techniques are you doing to get that mpg?

A few years back, I had a bunch of Festivas. Sort of phased out of them and into Metros...now I'm coming back to the DARK SIDE

Your garage states that you travel the highway alot at 80-85mph traffic.

If you kept your highway speed down to 55-60mph, I bet you would do 50-55mpg consistently.

Unfortunately, even the semis in the slow lane are going at least 70 on I-15 north of San Diego, so 55-60 would be a death trap.

hmm this is odd cuz i too have gotten a tank beating fill up today...

in my 1980 chevy chevette i got 37.6 mpg! the only things ive done ws replace all 4 brakes and install cruise control! i didnt think the brakes were dragging much but aparently they were!
