i hope so im already at 1100 miles!! heh of granny driving

Halitosis

thats a great name

 

The key here is the engine. The low rev engine has alot more torque in the low rpms than the high rev engine. Most of the daily driving done with the low rev engine will be in the engines peak torque range. Most of the daily driving with the high rev engine will not be done in the peak torque range. The low rev engine does not have to work as hard because of this and gets better MPG. This is a very simplistic explanation but gets the basic point across. This is one of the big reasons why Diesel engines have higher MPG on average (see the VW 1.9 turbo diesel offered on the jetta, golf, and bug). A diesel makes alot of torque under 2000 rpms, where most daily driving is done.

 

maybe you've been eating too much after thanks giving and the added weight is changing the mpg

 

Good theory, but I'm getting the exact same mpg with my '06 as I did with my '05 and my husband's '03.

 

thats cool juno
z33 i see yer point and agree but we only talkin about 15 lbs of tourqe or so.. didnt think it would be THAT much ..

 

I work at the corporate office for Hollywood Video doing financial forecasts for a business unit. As far as the screen-name.. I have no idea where that came from.

I've been getting gas at Cosco but I think I'm seeing less mileage with Cosco gas. It's has up to 10% enthanol and I think it burns cleaner but is less efficient.

 

I HAVE 1 thingf to say about cleaner burning...

1 volcanic eruption puts out more polution and poisonous gasses than all of man put together

HAl: ok i rent movies from there hehe
