I tried something the other night when i left the group from cleghorn. I went to arrowhead and when i turned on the 18 from blue jay. I put the transmishon in nutral and costed down the hill all the way down the mpg kept incresing. I gave it no gas and had to hit the bracks alot. I passed a few cars going down the hill so it wasent like i was holding up traffic or anything. To make a long story short by the time i got to the light before the 215 the mpg was showing 71.2 is this correct.

 

hahaha yea thats right.... the rate you were going your only burning enough gas to keep the engine running and not using any gas to actually propel the vehicle. The computer looks at how many miles you travel and how much gas you use to get you there. So your theoretically going 71mpg but once you hit level ground and start propelling the vehicle with gas it'll drop down to 20's

 

for the people that have been on the trail with me they no that i have a hard time with my right foot its almost allways to the floor. and my mpg normally reads about 10.5 on average. think god i only drive it on the weekends and mostly in the dirt. lol.

 

Sucks for you I get to drive my Jeep everyday

jk...

What do you drive as a DD?

 

Coasting downhill with no engine breaking, you're wearing out your brakes. not much savings there......

 

who? You? Noooo!!

 

company vehical i do miss the jeep but with gas prices the way they are im not comlainging and sense i drive on average of about 1000 miles a week at $5 a gallon and 10 miles per gallon thats $500 dollers a week i can put to the jeep for other things.

 

Oh...I'll take the company vehicle anyday! lol.
