Adair Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's still winter here, but it was 37* yesterday on my way home, with the sun shining, so I didn't need heat at all. Same trip home as always, but I got 52.7 mpg!!! Yay Jelly Bean!!! Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Good for you. :) And you did it without Grill Covers, just think you could have got a couple more MPG's at least with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adair Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Today, 2.14.13, same drive home, same outside temps *BUT* the diff today was a heavy cloud cover outside, which made bun warmers and heater a necessity. Result? 44MPG on the trip home today..................not shabby at all, mind you, but not 52.7. I. CAN'T. WAIT. FOR. SUMMER. :yahoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asb Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 61 degrees here, rainy, had to run the defrost on the way home. Stop and go traffic. It took me an hour and 15 minutes to drive 30 miles. 46.7 mpg. Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus-A-CMax Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks Ron! :rockon: it suits me, always on the go with the Max. So the story this evening was that I was suppose to cook some chicken schitnzel and I had everything prepped and about to do the chicken - no egg. :runaway: Had no choice but to do a lil run down to Vallarta to get some egg with my tank was showing yellow as it is now, 62 miles to go (512 on this tank as it is). I wanted to run the batteries high so I ended at the market with 36MPGs. Burnt more gas than I thought. Crap. Then I found a new, slightly longer way to utilize a long downhill run and came back with a 76MPG....and I live in the hills, so the last mile cost me some gas. Had to do a double take but as it was a TRIP reading, I had no camera in hand. Oh well...that was the "egg run" ;) PS I am dreading to tank up tomorrow, prices have gone way up and it's Friday...gonna get hit for sure. Also not sure if I'll push the 600 again on this tank, be touch and go but definitely over 550 miles for sure :happy feet:. PS Adair...you can look forward to these ridiculous MPGs with the warmer weather and a broken in engine. Yep!

roninsd Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 "Had to do a double take but as it was a TRIP reading, I had no camera in hand." I was surprised to find that the "trip" reading stayed in memory. I had come home, turned off the car. A couple minutes later I had to turn it on again (don't remember why -- maybe just accessory), and when I turned it off, the trip reading was the same one I had just made. Try it tomorrow, and see if your previous trip is still there (have camera in hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-MaxSea Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Congrats Adair (& Jelly Bean)!!! As so many of us are coming to conclude, the temperature outside (& inside) is a big deal for our MPG. We feel very lucky to have mild temps & a garage most of the time. ( I am using 'driving gloves' more often now, just to keep from using as much heat in the cabin - my little secret) Nick Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
