driving habbits and tune will dictate your gas mileage.

I put a blend of unicorn blood and horse pop in my gas tank to create an infinite supply of fuel in my gas tank.

If you drive it off boost it will be very similar in gas mileage to stock, but don't come in here and tell us you doubled the stock MPG rating by installing a TT kit. You might be running significantly leaner at low rpm while cruising and yeah, you might even be saving gas (very unlikely since you've plugged the exhaust path with a set of turbos).
You're essentially saying "get bigger injectors and your gas mileage will be higher". Thats bs. |

Fuel Economy with a GTM TT kit!!!
Hmmmmm, then why aren't all mass produced vehicles TT'd??? |

Between this thread and the other thread I find that hip waders are required... |
weird! my car is sucking the life outta me on gas. don't know how you guys are getting such good mileage and after all Sam tuned my car.

You guys didn't know that the Veyron gets 80mpg and 900 miles to the tank?
|
Quote:
gas price in San Francisco is around $4.17 for 91 octane btw lol. |
Quote:
Also 900 miles / 80 mpg = 11.25 mpg which is more like 60% of a tank. :p |
Quote:
That 91 Junk is kind of pricey 93 octane in Jersey cost $3.85 |
Quote:
|
93 = $3.49. :)

I didn't even notice till I was making up my own exaggerated numbers. 100 mpg and 1k miles didn't look right to me and only then did I realize something was wrong :icon17: |
Quote:
combined local and highway I am getting ~19mpg and that is with quite a bit of getting on it.. I generally see 330 out of a tank without sucking it dry... |
Quote:
|
I am getting 24mpg pure highway 65~70 mph driving...
|
I get 6 mpg.
|
I'm getting around 15...20 if Im super careful.

After i installed my stillen kit i filled my car up, said i had 765 kms tell empty which i ussually only get like 380 to tank so i thought that was od.. i started thinking i messed up the level sensor when i installed the fuel pump. And also my tank would never read full, like ever.. i filled it up, it read full which surprised me, ive got 435 kms on this taknk with 2 dots left. im wondering if i did mess up my level sensor? Im using the trip function and not the milage left gauge. Ive been really easy on the car lately, i guess if your not pumping in boost u shouldnt be using anymore gas then before it was FI?

I get between 15-20 depending on how I am driving (mostly city with some open highway). Lately I have been getting up on the highway more, but those on ramps are just asking for it. :driving: |
My car reports around 22.3 MPG average, and calculated to 21.7 MPG after yesterday's fill up. This is mostly city and some freeway driving to work and around town. So each week I accumulate under 230 mi., and it takes a little over 10 gallons to fill up. All N/A so far of course.

Turbochargers, and any FI system, coupled with larger injectors produces more power by allowing the car to burn MORE air and fuel in the cylinder. You stroked your motor too, allowing it to burn even MORE air and fuel at the same time, producing more power. So burning more air and fuel at the same time means better efficiency? Your car has more power than any stock 370z because it can burn more air and fuel in a given revolution than a stock vq37. More air and fuel burnt in a given revolution=worse fuel economy. Just because your motor doesn't have to strain to make the same horsepower as a stock motor, doesn't mean it is more efficient. If a 6ft 300lb Powerlifter can more easily deadlift 500lbs than a 5ft tall 175lb power lifter. However, when they are both walking around the 300lb guy burns more calories to do any activity just because he has a higher metabolism and more mass. Granted, engines aren't people, but its the same principle. I also don't see the point in making a false statement about increased fuel economy on a high horsepower car. The correct answer to 'how many MPG's do you get?' in your high horsepower, modified car, is 'I don't give a shit.' |
^^He's talking about his G37 car.
Plus there's so many factors that go into mpg that we really shouldn't care too much about it when it comes to TTing a car. |

Your confusing my cars...
This was in reference to the G37 TT I bought which by my logs on paper has been getting 27-33MPG shared mileage. And btw the car holds a 20 gal tank of gas. |
Quote:
are you under boost or vacuum while cruising? |
the power lifter is a bad analogy...
lets look at it this way... you have a N/A car it makes 300hp then you add ram air system... now it makes 315hp on the same tune... the car uses the same amount of fuel on both applications one just makes more power. Acceleration is now faster meaning getting up to desired speed takes less time so your burn duration is shorter. You are able to use less throttle to maintain that speed even if it is just a small amount... I am just writing down what the car is getting for mileage... I have driven Hi HP cars for a while now and understand you dont need to flaunt it 24/7 when driving! I find that I can still get great gas mileage with them. Others dont always get similar results because they floor it all the time. SC'ers will get worse mileage than a TT because your always in boost... |

you dont have to take a picture. i'm sure someone can chime in here whether or not you're in boost while cruising with the TT kits on this car. |
Regardless, a 600HP TT car getting substantially better gas mileage than a stock-trim car defies logic, unless somehow it is only driven downhill.
|
Seriously... have you guys not been able to get 30mpg in your Z?
I averaged 90mph and got 29.8 mpg from atlanta to chicago!!! its not that drastic!!! |
