pleasantly surprised with my lude

[Jamie P 2013]

Decided to take my lude on a run from Bedford to winsford and back today. So as I was about to set off I filled her up and proceeded with my journey.

I have now completed my journey there and back which is 308 miles altogether and included getting stuck in 4 traffic jams & only used half a tank of petrol I am genuinely chuffed to bits how well the lude did. And that was with a few vtec engagements.

Just felt like sharing

Lo
Have you got 2 petrol tanks
I get about that many miles between fill ups and I have a 2.0

Cheers

I couldn't believe it myself. Who needs a diesel when I have this

[Jamie P 2013]

I believe I see you driving in Bedford last week. You have a nice lude there

your fuel gauge float isn't sticking at halfway, is it?

[Jamie P 2013]

Nope my gauge works perfectly I am seriously over the moon with it.

^this, a Prelude can't get this sort of MPG!!!

[wurlycorner]

Ether that, or your odometer has suddenly started reading in km!

[Jamie P 2013]

the best part is I had a passenger as well. And yep its the silver one a 2.2 vti. I worked it out and it equates to 45 mpg How it happened I do not know. I need to try it again sometime and maybe mount a dash cam

You'll probably find that the second 'half' of the tank drops a fair bit quicker than the first.
There was a good explanation for why somewhere, but I can't find it now
I've had similar before. You think you'll get the same again from the second half but I usually get 400 miles on a tank, on a run, and that's good going.
