Hot. Summer is here, and the mileage that goes with it. I (by myself) can get by without AC most afternoons, and mornings with kid on board it's usually cool enough. (78F this morning)

Re: What Has 887 HP, AWD, Hits 60 in < 3 sec and Is As Green as a Prius?

(quick googling tells me) the R18's combustion puts out 490 hp. This car's V8 puts out 608 hp.

Re: Hi, I'm...

Eh, with those short distances and bike usage, I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage. You've made the choices for BIG savings already. Well done.

Yes indeed. :D

This is a serious hybrid, unlike the P1 and LaFerrari (seriously guys, who came up with that name?!! :eyebrow:). Those are short-burst boost mode hybrids, like F1's KERS. ...

Re: Linear-Logic's ScanGauge-II Is 7 Years Young

I wonder how much fuel Scangauge has saved overall?

Let's say I would have improved my mileage only half as much without it (half the % over epa). I saved 1300 gallons by hypermiling my Civic. ...

Re: Linear-Logic's ScanGauge-II Is 7 Years Young

It is a small error, but it's a variable error. Rush hour and stop & go traffic makes it a bigger error while open highway makes for a small error.

-----gph = 0
else
-----do all the...

Re: Linear-Logic's ScanGauge-II Is 7 Years Young

Oh, I love it. It's just got a bug that makes it slightly innacurate in some cars. My sister's Camry has the same problem. Camry. The best-selling car for 20-some years.

Re: Linear-Logic's ScanGauge-II Is 7 Years Young

Too bad they haven't fixed the engine-off 0.02 gph glitch in all those years.

What year model?

The detailed SAE study I read a while back concluded that for one and only one configuration (yours), tailgate down is best.
