The Fuel Economy/Mileage Thread

You're a dumbass

Wow mang you really told me bro

[SVT666]

You're a dumbass

I watch my MPGs on the first 5 or 6 tanks when I buy a car and than I stop giving a shit.

[MrH]

I'd rather pay for my own gas and actually calculate all my averages, Fuck off if you don't like it.

How about I just tell you what your gas mileage is, and you pay for my gas for me?

[Cookie Monster]

How does that make any sense at all? I don't even get what the big deal is. I like tracking my MPG's and don't want others filling up my tank.

And that gas was anything but free. Sure I got $35 worth of gas but now I'm also stuck with a $125 bill to fix my wheel (that will never be as good as new ever again) so in the end i still get fucked.

In the bargain, you also got a $24,000 car. Yeah, you got fucked.

...says the guy who got a car twice as expensive as mine.

This is why you're a dumbass.

1. I don't complain about my dad driving the car he bought for me, nor would I complain about the fact that he filled my tank up for me. In fact, he put a hole in my front bumper. Wait, I mean his front bumper.

2. GTIs are not $50k cars.

[CALL_911]

Seriously, though, do you put even a little bit of thought into these counter-attacks?

1. I don't say anything when he takes me car either, but he fucking scratched MY wheels that I paid for. If you don't see the difference between that and putting a hole in the bumper he paid for, you're the dumbass.

2. My car was $15k. So yes, your car was 2x as expensive.

hahahahahahahaha

He bought you the car. $15k. You fucked up by sliding into a curb or something. Your dumb mistake cost you, what, $1000? Without the $15k car, would you have slid into the curb and put those wheels on your Radio Flyer? Also, you were complaining about him filling up your tank. Shit, if someone bought me a tank of gas, I'd be grateful before I bitched that they didn't check my fuel economy.

My car was $24k, so 1.6x as expensive. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but might as well get the facts straight.

Also, with your track record, those wheels weren't gonna be pristine for long.

Had today off and almost went in to get my snows taken off. Snows dropped me from 21 mpg to 17 mpg. Wowzers, it's quit a hit - if anything I hate going to the gas station so often. At 17 mpg I ALMOST make it a full week.

[ChrisV]

Yesterday, due to the outside temps being in teh 40s, I was able to drive 17 miles on half charge, and the engien didnt' come on at all, netting me 250+ mpg on the dash readout when I stopped. Today, OTOH, due to the temps being below freezing on my way to work, the engine had to run at idle for a couple minutes to keep things warm, so I only managed 94mpg for the trip. I did manage to cover the 7 miles to work on only 3 miles worth of charge, so it's possible to be efficient with the batteries in low temps.

Fine, put it this way. You go out and buy some mad tyte Eurotrash front bumper for your GTI, then a month later your dad goes and pokes a hole in it. Are you telling me you wouldn't be pissed off in the slightest? Oh, I guess you'd just be happy you had a car to put it on instead of your Radio Flyer. ;rolleyes:

I'm sorry I can't be the always perfect son like you. You're the one who was bitching and moaning about wanting to sell your car to get a shitty beater to give your parents the money back. Yeah I'm grateful for the car but I still have the right to be pissed when my stuff gets fucked up.

[CALL_911]

You may not be able to be the perfect son like me, but you should be able to realize how retarded your complaining is (and your arguments are).

[Cookie Monster]

I think you're just trolling now.

And telling me that my arguments are stupid doesn't make them stupid or make you right.

[MrH]

Lol!

You weren't even complaining about the wheels. You already did that in the chat thread. You were bitching about getting a free tank of gas and not getting the mileage written down. If that doesn't scream ungrateful, spoiled child, I don't know what does.

[Cookie Monster]

Bro I ain't even mad. My original post was more of a "Darn, I would have liked to known what the gas mileage is", not "FUCK MY FUCKING DAD FOR FILLING UP THE TANK DAMMIT".

And preferring to pay for my own gas is being ungrateful? lolok

[SVT666]

Why do you even care what your gas mileage is for every tank?  After 3 or 4 tanks you pretty much know what you're getting.

Took my snow tires off an went from 17 to 18.5 mpg. Took my roof rack and went from 18.5 to 20.5 mpg. I was shocked the roof rack sucked more than the tires.

Also, with the summer(ish) tires now on the AT shifts crisper. The gooshy snow tires caused a noticeable drag/softness during shifting.

[CJ]

The Lexus is doing a pretty solid 21-22 MPG in my commute. Not bad for the driving type.

[Laconian]

You're trolling me with that 250+.

[280Z Turbo]

You're trolling me with that 250+.

Googolplex empeegees!

[Laconian]

#NaN mpgs!

[Cookie Monster]

13 mpg at the track.

[280Z Turbo]

#NaN mpgs!

Do not get

[93JC]

Programming joke. 'NaN' stands for "not a number", which is what is returned when there's an operation in a program that results in an imaginary or otherwise undefinable number. E.g. if your program took the square root of a negative number it would return 'NaN'. Or if you divided by zero.


And that's about all I remember from two semesters of C++ classes.

YES i fill up a lot- never go down past about 1/4 tank, the most I've put in the last 8months is 10.7gallons, I usually go to about 230-250miles then fillup (9-10gallons).
(Last summer I put in 14.5gal once)
