Driving like an idiot increased my MPG
To the tune of 3 MPG give or take.
On the way home after class and a nice 4.something earthquake I felt like flogging the Jeep the 15 miles home. So I did everything FE wrong; floored it out of stop lights, red lined through the gears, on the highway set cruise control for 65 but maintaining 70-75 running around trucks. The way back home is all uphill too.
By the time I got home my trip average was 19.9 MPG instead of the usual 16.9, which is baffling to me. I was expecting something along the lines of 10-12 considering what I was doing. Any ideas why abusing the engine increased my FE? Its not carbon build up, I ran some Seafoam through it about a month ago(~1000 miles)
