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
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.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
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.

Re: I just made a cross country drive
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!

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
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!
