Hello -
Not a personal best, but I like that the car performed well in colder conditions. Here's the info :
MPG :
57.2 (best is 58.6, so a 2.4% decrease)
Route : 10 West -> 710 South -> 105 West -> 405 South -> Exit Freeway
Miles : 27.7
MPH Avg: 49
MPH Max : 66
RPM Max :
2263
Gallons : 0.5
IAT Reading : Hot Air Intake led to Input Air Temp readings of around 120 degrees F.
Net Elevation Change : ~210 feet drop
Weather(.com) : 77.5 degrees F, Partly Cloudy, 49.5% Humidity, 54.5 degrees F Dew Point
Time : ~11:00 AM to ~11:30 AM, ~30 minutes
NOTE : The weather data is 2+ hours after the drive. Soooo, I think it was cooler when I did the actual drive.
Recent Car Changes : The 5th gear swap and tires raised from 45 to 50 PSI. The EFIE is online but it is most likely not being accounted for in the ScanGauge algorithm.
Hypothesis : The 5th gear swap and the traffic. Overall, I think that the 5th gear swap is a wash on the freeway because I use the pulse and glide driving technique. My taller 5th gear means I take more
time to pulse up to my glide speed, so the end result, IMO, is the same. It was warm outside, but not like full summer. It's hard to explain, but I think that today, the traffic was good for my 5th gear swap. I really really really need to have a datalogger to make concrete conclusions.
