RE: Gas Mileage
I have the ES with all the bells, today while on a rod trip I thought about your problem and thought I'd take a few notes, they may be insightful. While on an open road, I set the cruise at 65 and monitored the real time gas consumption via theoverheadcomputer(this is a lot slower than I normally drive, so the consumption rate is a bit higher than my normal). At @ 2K RPM, 65MPH, and on a moderately flat road, I was between 32-38 MPG. I normally drive faster and also with a lot of city traffic, so the average stored in the computer for my car is 23 MPG.When I have taken road trips in the past with the monitoring computer reset, (also resisting the urge to exceeded 65 MPH), I got 32 MPG. It my be if your engine is fine, your poor gas performance comes from the shifting side of the house. What do you have? Auto trany, stick, an onboard computer or without one, RPM gauge, ECT and what drive conditions?
