I just made a cross country drive
 

From Tempe, AZ to good old MG. 1700 miles :(

yet somehow, the pos gaylant managed between 29-27mpg. 14.8-15.1 a/f ratios at cruise, with the afc zero'd out. i was surprised! this was also going between 75-85mph the entire trip, in my big boxy sedan. if i was in a talon i would have gotten 80mpg!!!11

what kind of mileage do you goons get?

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

Nicely done.
Best was in my old 90 talon.
32mpg on the way to kansas city.
34mpg on the way from kansas city.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

I get around 27mpg in the Talon. I haven't tried any lean burn code in the ECU on that car yet. My goal was to get the Talon up to 30mpg.

21 mpg! yay.... call me Joe after 5pm.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

Last weekend I got 27mpg all weekend, drove about 600 miles with plenty of spirited driving :)

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

How the fuck can you run at that kind of A/F ratios?

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

because the car isnt really under any serious load when cruising.

What path do you take? I forgot the actual freeways that I took when coming home from Yuma, but I know I went East until I just got into Texas, then shot straight North. I never did stop at that little TEEPEE Indian place that you drive pass on the AZ/New Mexico border, but it looked kinda interesting!

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

The VR4 got 25mpg back from Boston. The Stealth got 28mpg on a long trip with some intermittant flogging. It got 31mpg over a shorter haul taking it real easy.

for a second i thought you were crazy, with regard to your 3/S naming scheme. But then i remembered you do indeed have two land yachts now!

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

I've taken that way before, and i thought it sucked. The scenery is so very dull.

I now go phoenix>flagstaff>albaquerque>denver>omaha>des moines>home.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

I also took that way once. The only thing I remember was Nebraska was fuckin flat, and I drove under some arch way that went over the freeway.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

haha yea nebraska is the lose as far as states are concerned. and i also remember the huge wooden arch monument...thing.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

Me and my buddy drove out to california a couple of months ago, and Nebraska was by far the most boring state out of them all!

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

That's because there's nothing in Nebraska!

Re: I just made a cross country drive
 

I'm in Nebraska, right now!
