Short trips takes its toll on FE
Well . I just worked out my first tank from my Swift (metro clone).
Using many good FE techniques to save gas I still have only managed 36 mpg. Most of my driving is short trips and the car rarely gets warmed up. Considering this I am quite pleased with the result. 36 is Yuck , but in my neck of the woods ime sure everyone else is getting way worse than that. :thumbup: |
This summer I drove 1.9 miles to work everyday. I got 25-26mpg. I rode my bike like 2 days. I was always too tired to ride my bike up a 250ft (vertical) hill at 7am.
|
25mpg, yeah that was in the summer. I wonder what it would be in the winter (15-20mpg?).
|
my drive to work is lil over 5 miles and i'm getting a lil over 32 mpg
|
Kick: you needed an electric bike. Bike to work, coast/pedal home. You still working there?
|
I've put more miles on my bicycle during this (current) tank than any other. Mainly because the temperatures are dropping and I'm trying to avoid short trips. I'm also working on a record tank. ;)
Amazing the influence a gas log can have (on me). |

Biking works good (if I wasn't sleepy). |
I hear you. It's easy for me to pontificate about when other people should bike, when I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to be somewhere at 7 AM in the last 6 months. :o

Why wouldn't a brisk bikeride wake you up?

[QUOTE=theclencher]If your trips are that short you should be riding your bike.
Yeah , but bikes arent all that practical in winter time. This is more my style., a jet powered outhouse. All I need is gas. https://www.weblogsinc.com/common/ima...67025910444582 |
