Got 3500 miles, use 89 octane and drive not too aggressive I average 12 according to computer with a 50/50 split of city and highway. O

 

i think the stock tune programming shifts aroumd 2/3k RPM's anyway hahaaa!!

id like the tranny to start back from 1st gear automatically
when i come to a stop when driving in manual/auto stick
mode, like my 2010 maxima does...

i dont want to manually drop it back down to 1st,
id prefer to just
upshift, not both...maybe diablosport can add that to the trinity...or dodge gives us a programming update with
that option!

 

I regularly get 11-12mpg city driving. Just drove from L.A. to Fresno and back (450mi) which was 98% freeway and averaged 20.2mpg. Bought it for family hauling (3 teens plus 2 adults) and can't complain! This is definatley not a daily commuter car... which is why we have a Corolla for that.

 

The new Ford Taurus is doing this...
You can get an additional key fob and program it for 2nd gear take offs only and also set a limit top speed...

 

I heard about that, thought it was on the Focus though. It didnt make sense to me because I'm more concerned with limiting how fast they get to speed, not neceserraly limiting the top speed (Cops do that pretty well around here). If all I could do was limit it to 70mph my Wife and Daughter would still see how fast they could get to 70 at every stop! By limiting it to 2K rpm's they could still do the speed limit easily (I think it does 85+ at 2k in 6th gear), but they would have to get to speed at a reasonable pace because they would not be able to red line it.

 

Boo! Didn't you know that you use more fuel climbing to the speed limit slowly, than if you gun it and reach the speed limit sooner?












Yes, I'm joking.

 

Hi All, I have a 1970 Cuda, 440, stroked, Blown, and 250 shot (2stage) NOS system, running 556 gears, 4 link rear.
Just wondering if anyone has any tips to save mpg's.
Thanks

 

according to the computer in the car I get 16mpg. I also have the Mopar CAI on the car

 

Yeah. Don't start it. That's how I save gas in my'67 GTO...

 

Sorry, but did you not look at the window sticker when you bought the truck? It clearly advertises like 13 mpg city! I don't see what the big surprise is! Who buys a huge V8 Hemi truck for the gas mileage anyway! LMAO!
