Do these tips work?
>>28874839Yes. Also don't drive a BMW those need premium fuel which costs more for no reason
>>28874839Didn’t know having incorrect tire dimensions could mess up fuel economy???
>>28874839gas was almost $6 a gallon a couple years ago and it's like half that now so idk seems like the current admin is doing a much better job
>>28874839Sure, don't forget the pizza tray style wheelcovers for some extra aero. Read ecomodders forum for some extra tips.
>>28874839Even without the war CA's gas/diesel prices would have gone up, it sucks being a gas/diesel vehicle owner in CA and EV isn't that much cheaper with the high cost of electricity compared to other states too.
>get a plug-in OBD-II guage that tells you your instant and avg MPH (or get a car from the last 15 years that tells you these things.>Experiment throttle % and gears>Accelerate down hills (screw the law) and use like 2-5% throttle up hill.Hypermiling and understanding freshman (uni) physics. You can get an "18 mpg" car to over 30 just from throttle manipulation without going under the limit ever. Generally. I got my STi (tuned to 19psi) and Pentastar Wrangler over 30. Miatas, I can't do it. Gearing is really important. My miat that weighs much less is at 4,000rpm at 75-80mph top gear. It'll still go 130mph, but that low gearing means I'll never get 30mpg. A car the weight of a miat with lots of power and tall gearing could get exceptional mpg - but my car may have 110hp peak, it needs short gears.
>>28874987Yeah I was doing 33-34 on overinflated tires (35 vs 32) until I decided to sport mode everywhere.Now I'm getting more like 30-31 but it's worth it for the engine noise.
>>28874987The best I can do with my v6 4runner is ~20mpg and that is just solely going highway speed limit otherwise I can only best around 14-16mpg around the city.
>>28874991Yeah buddy, over-inflating the tires works. I can get my 3.6L Pentastar Wrangler to 34 mpg over a 100 mile drive. Overinflated tires does work, as does running the shittiest chink tires with low friction (rolling resistance).My miat is geared so short it cannot. They totally cheated the power with gearing that may work in Japan, but not here. I'm in 4th in my driveway at 20mph and still over 1,500. Goddamn I need a taller axle or a 6th gear.
>>28874839Yes, especially that last one.
>>28874839>TiresYes, high pressure reduces rolling resistance but your handling will turn to shit.>SpeedSpeed and wind resistance do not go up hand in hand as you increase speed wind resistance goes up by a factor of 8 (I think, can't remember).>Avoid stoppingYou waste the most power in the lower gears, so keeping momentum keeps revs low and the car happy.>Reducing weightIf you have to have this explained to you please go back to school. More insane solution. You have no friends and you're never getting a GF. So what is the point of having 4 extra seats?>Middle east partyOne man can only stick his dick in a flaming hornet nest so many times.
>>28875005>>28875005>One man can only stick his dick in a flaming hornet nest so many times.If you two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornets' nest, it's a free country. But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?
>>28874839>Avoid frequent stops>Meanwhile
>>28875008You're more than welcome to join. Plenty of holes to choose from and the stinging gets addicting after a bit.
>>28874844Increased rolling resistance = worse fuel economy
>>28875005>>Speed>Speed and wind resistance do not go up hand in hand as you increase speed wind resistance goes up by a factor of 8 (I think, can't remember).From what I remember, aerodynamic drag is basically negligible until ~60mph and the effects scale exponentially from there.
>>28875021Oh, I've certainly stuck mine in hornets' nest so hard. Never got addicting, just made me hate people.Did you know that SSRIs and SNRIs have nothing to do with happiness and are more physically-addictive than morphine, while morphine actually works as an antidepressant? Lots of people want to kill me for saying this, but the serotonin theory of depression has been *fully* disproven. And SSRI/SNRI withdrawals last multiples of times longer than heroin withdrawals.That's the nest I stick my wang into; that's probably why people want to kill me.
>>28875025Actually with the cube of the speed.
>>28875032You made me remember when I got off my antidepressants and it felt like I was shocked, stabbed and bathed in acid for hours. After about 3 weeks the pain stopped.>>28875025>>28875036Thank you for clarifying that. I thought the threshold was 80kph.
>>28875025>until 60Well no it depends on the vehicle but aero matters somewhere between 47 and 52mph. There's some speed for a vehicle's specific size and shape where you hit a crossover point where aero is as much drag as the rest of the forces (tire/road friction and all mechanical losses). And it's usually 47-52mph.
>>28875046>>28875047>depends on the vehicle but aero matters somewhere between 47 and 52mphIt's definitely a simplification, and I'm sure you could even argue what constitutes a "negligible" power loss
>>28875046>You made me remember when I got off my antidepressants and it felt like I was shocked, stabbed and bathed in acid for hours. After about 3 weeks the pain stopped.Yeah, that. I used to get brain zaps then get really violent for weeks. Heroin withdrawals only last 2-3 days.
>>28875032SSRIs have been shown to be less effective than a placebo for treating depression in almost all cases.
>>28875058Correct. The FDA doesn't require companies to report every study, just enough studies to pass.They do as good as placebo at best.The serotonin theory of depression has been disproven.What SSRIs actually do is blast your receptors with serotonin for so long that your brain downregulates serotonin - they actually lower serotonin which I find hilarious as no psychiatrist even seems to know how they work.
>>28875054Good graph and yeah the power loss would be negligible and also would depend on the transmission oh how it uses that power.>>28875056I had 200mg daily on one that started with a "S" and I was a husk and couldn't feel nothing, like a psychopath and the nightmares were not fun either. Good that you off that stuff anon.
>>28875025On my Maverick it's a pretty massive difference.60mph = 40mpg65mph = 38mpg70mph = 35mpg75mph = 32mpg80mph = 29mpgAnd then there's the fact that you can sustain 55mph in electric-only mode for several milesSomething along those lines. I try to keep it to 65
>>28875069>Good that you off that stuff anon.I have quit both morphine and SSRIs/SNRIs in the last 3 years. The antidepressants were WAY harder to quit. Opiates you shit and (if you've been doing it long enough) puke for 2 days. You can't hold water down or sleep - it's hell. But it's only 2 days. Antidepressants are much harder to quit and I've done some really violent shit quitting that.Now I'm clean of both for years! If you're sad, it's probably because people are stealing from you. Antidepressants cause permanent brain damage - "oh, you lack serotonin, let's flood your brain with serotonin, it may take two weeks to work." If an illegal drug downregulated endogenous production - people would call that "permanent brain damage." But Paxil, Lexapro, and Prozac? Never!!!
>>28874996>miat is geared so short it cannotYou would expect that getting a couple of spare wheels with tall and skinny tires on the back would give you some gains in mpg on a long trip.
>>28875099aye say no more cuh
>>28875099I have this for a reason. But I'd prefer a taller rear diff ratio. I literally am sitting at 4k at under 80mpg. I drive at 90 through that section of road and it's 4.x. That's pretty extreme. My 6-spd Wrangler is like 1,300 through there,I love miatas but how about some taller gears? You shouldn't be sitting at over 4k in top gear just cruising.If there's a complaint I have against miatas, it's that. I live in Alabama, 85mph is normal in some sections of my commute. Driving to work at 4K+ in top gear is very, very strange. And it'll go over 130mph, very strange.
>>28875103You've got it all worked out. I was thinking of some stock wheels with poverty 175 70R14 tyres or something like that, but here's you with all the economy gains and still pulling the laydees. Guess that's why you're on the big bucks. Thinking outside the box.>>288751086 speed doesn't seem to make much difference on the top end. It's mainly the diff ratio.
>>28874839maybe
The problem with hypermiling, aka getting maximum mpgs is dealing with all the tailgating, honking assholes on the road. You can't just gun it up hills if you want to get maximum mpg. You should be coasting slowly to all stop signs and red lights. This pisses just about everyone off.
>>28875114Ideal fuel rate is achieved at the highest gear with the lowest rpm that has ~70% engine load.My shitterbox reports 46mpg at 1200rpm in 6th at a whopping 45mph. I get 21 at 80 at 2150rpm.
>>28874863>hal speedwalking geari respect mpgmaxxers because they embrace their cringe
>>28875163They're doers too.
>>28875172Something like 80% of those gains could be had by a much simpler front splitter extension and a rear wing with negative camber, because aero flow shaping is the majority of the fight and the additive nature of boundary layer friction on a surface.T. Reads physics books
>>28875177maybe
>>28874987>>Accelerate down hills (screw the law) and use like 2-5% throttle up hill. please elaborate as this makes no sense to me
>>28874996>raughs in Honda Elememt 4.76You are like little babby.
>>28874987True. I regularly got my 2000 Vulcan Taurus to 30 and it's was rated for like 26 highway. I know it was 29-30 mpg because it was a 2000 Taurus and as such the fuel gage wouldn't work so I filled up based on milage from the trip odometer. Also 65 vs 70 on the highway made a huge difference.
My car gets around 125 MPGe, not too shabby
>>28874839Just buy an EV. But then I remember most petrol sniffers are also poorfags driving clapped out 20 year old rust boxes.
>>28875529LOL
>>28875531How's that rusty ol' gal treating you? Oil leakage been solved yet?
>>28875533lmao
>>28875538fridges, air conditioning units and ovens run for years without any failures, why to teslas go up in flames so often? i thought they were supposed to not be rube golberg machines??
>>28875458What? You use gravity instead of gasoline to accelerate down hills to reach a very illegal speed then use the minimum amount of throttle to carry you uphill with the momentum from gravity. If you live in a hilly area most people get worse gas mileage but you can use gravity to your advantage. Cruise control is reactive, it doesn't know there's a hill ahead and when you hit a hill with cruise it just uses more throttle.
>>28874996She can do 30mpg cruising 65 at 1500rpm.
>>28874987Enter Prius
>>28875626>just make more torque than HP at an impossible RPM broKill yourself.
The last bit works but Christian fundies and (((tribal))) influence on the US have wreaked havoc
>>28874987>Scan gaugeI remember thoseBlast from 2005
>>28875025I've seen charts even more aggressive
>>28875764>Not reducing drag by traveling above Mach 1
>>28875773i knew going mach 0.9 was a mistake gosh dangit
>>28875764That's for a drag coefficient of 1, even something like a modern silverado is <0.4
>>28874839Oy vey nobody can resists the commands of God's chosen goyim
>>28875863Most trucks are at or below .3, even.But to confuse the matter more, cD isn't a static number. It's different at different speeds. The air bubble becomes "virtual" and interacts with itself beyond some critical speed.
>>28875762They still have themhttps://ecomodder.com/forum/scangauge-fuel-economy-gauge.php
>>28875914>below .3, even.only EVs are that low anon.
>>28875576But why waste gas going downhill? If I was really trying to hypermile I would either put it in the highest possible gear and coast down, or put it in neutral and turn the engine up. Both using 0 fuel but the later trading safety for speed.
>>28876417You want to add energy to your car efficiently which means driving in a high gear at a low-medium throttle on the downhill to pick up speed to crest the hill so that you don't have to inefficiently add energy to your car on the uphill by driving in a lower gear at a higher throttle position.
>>28874839no
>>28874839Cool it with the antisemitism.
>>28876449but NA engines are most efficient around 80% load and pretty fucking inefficient at low load. So coasting down and driving up with more engine load makes more sense. If you're driving a turbo car it's a little different.
I could save a lot on gas and maintenance by just not going places. Hypermiling isn't going to fix my speeding habit, and it'll take a couple years to breakeven with a tune with swappable maps instead of my locked full 20psi boost 93 only. Even buying a different car, like a base model or diesel, are going to have horrible breakeven points when you factor in purchase price, insurance, tires, all immediate maintenance items, and then price of relevant fuel. We're talking differences of $1k-$3k, that's tens of thousands of miles for me. It's cheaper to keep 'er
>buy a new stang>golden retard starts a slap fight he cant win
>>28875172>>28875180GM should literally make this.
>mfw my built up half-ton diesel gets 30+mpg on country roads while my Buick lucerne gets 22
>>28874844>incorrect tire dimensionsyeah, are you dumb? If you use smaller than original wheel diameter, your engine will run at a higher RPM than intended- especially if its an older type of car without much automation.
