Does anybody know of a fuel flow gauge that can be hooked up, it would be the easiest way to tell if you are actually using more/less fuel.
EDIT- K2e2vin, just noticed your from Raleigh as well, are you from here?

It's kinda weird but when i was driving at 85mph (almost 5k rpm) i got 45-50mpg, and at 70 (4.5k rpm) i got 35-40mpg.

This is exactly what i thought Cal, it even sounds better the closer i get to 4900-5100 rpms, the engine gets more of a 'solid' breathing sound and the gas mileage is like wh0a.Quoted post[/post]]

Your engine might be operating in a more efficient state at the higher engine speed, and at a time when the drag force difference between the two speeds isn't that great. As you reach your torque peak, your engine is making more torque with less fuel (per lb/ft), so it's actually possible to be more efficient at higher speeds. It's weird but true.

I didn't believe it either so we tried it.
the coupe is a miracle story, we all noticed better gas mileage but 210 to 330 is not what we expected either.
4/4 cars now are running better
