I AM GETTING LAY WAY MORE MILES PER GALLON!!!!!!!!!!

WTF????

any idea's?

 

Well, they did advertise more mpg with shell. But hmm, I posted a thread about this I think and people told me to stay away from Shell. Said it ruined their cars.

Guess I will go ahead and try it? I'd love to get better mpg. I am only getting 16 mpg

 

I normally get 20MPG.. i got like 24!

20MPG driing one direction... then filled with shell for the way back and 24MPG!

Im gonna try 76 next!

i want to find a place with 100 octane... hehe

 

Konverter... You in NY or L.A.? Here in L.A. there are lots of 76 stations that have 100 octane racing fuel. Just chk their website.

 

LA....

Los Angeles... Death Row... heh...

Ive never gone to anything but a Chevron or Mobil here...

I have mobil stock.. eh eh

 

Figured as much. In NY wearing a Medusa would get your a** kicked. I know the LA clubs well. Probably all too well (except I have real hair...hehe). Anyway, check out 76's website. They list all of the stations with "racing gas". There is one here off Ventura Blvd in Reseda. When I feel spunky I slap a few gallons in before a fill-up for a weekend cruise. Car runs way better. Don't know if it's worth the $4.79 a gallon though. I'd say it is equal to eating at Outback vs Carls Jr. Both will fill you up with meat and do the job. Only one feels right and is worth 5x the price during times you want to spoil yourself. I don't know for sure if the new Z has carbon build-up issues using gas with too high octane. I know the old ones did. I guess you can factor that out by running it hard after break-in.

(BTW - all you Angelino's....Chevron has the highest quality gas. The old 300 gets valve knock on any other 91 octane besides .)

 

Ive only worn the medusa mask to a few clubs and it gets very good reactions...

i dont feel i need to worry about gettin my *** kicked for wearing a piece of head gear...

if it was a strap on on my fore head thats another story...

im gonna go down to that 76 station some time this week

 

Like I said... In LA you don't have to worry about getting your a** kicked for wearing it. Hell I think it's cool. I think it's even cooler you own a Z. I'm just saying that there are areas of NYC where wearing that is offensive to the gangs. NYC sucks IMO and why I moved here from PA. I "know" where all the cool peeps are.

 

Yeah some here, I get great gas mileage with Shell.

 

Link to press release:

Based on your observations you got much better gas mileage.

i was never worried about gangs in NYC... here is a nother story...

i used to wear huge jeans and weird shirts when i lived in boston and went down to NYC all the time...

now i dress totally different any way.. hehe..

 

hrmm

 

Your milage has all to do with good gas, the way you break in the car, and how drive it daily. Period.

Highway on cruise for 40 mi at 70mph is going to be way different than me who would be stuck in 20-0-20 mph stop and go traffic daily 5 days a week. Gotta be more specific man.

 

next time i go on a long drive im gonna have to put it in cruse for 20 miles and see what i do...

i am at 15000 miles on my z.. i gotta go in for the 15000 mile service... like soon.. haha..

ill proably get better mialage after that too...

 

I use Shell, get aroung 24mpg in mixed driving (and I dont baby it)

 

I have been using shell since I started driving
There is nothing wrong with it.

 

For the most part, I strictly use Shell (it helps that one is 3 minutes from my house), and I have always gotten great gas milage. I only use anything else in extremely dire situations.

And now they have the new "V-POWER" (??) 93 octane. I wonder what type of results that will produce.

 

Not to try and burst your bubble or anything, but maybe one way was uphill mostly and the other was down hill. I.E. you drove up into the mountains one way, filled up, then drove back down them (extreme example).

I've done it before, driving from KC to Denver, filled up twice, driving back made it with about 1.5 tanks.

I have only filled my Z twice so far, the last time being Shell. I'll figure it's gas milage next fill up.

 

i use shell too..
and wat is this "v power" thing?
never heard of it..

 

I guess it's the new name for their 93 octane? re-formulated maybe? I dont know...I saw the signs the other day when I was @ the pump. It was on the pump itself and they had banners all over the gas station. *shrug* Maybe it's just here.
