man how do you guys pull
man how do you guys pull such high numbers? Under acceleration I'm always floating around 19 to 30 mpg and coasting with the engine off only brings that average to 35 ish (the law of averages really hurts). I guess I really have to work on my acceleration but at anytime my revs are under 2000 rpms my MPG suffers a lot due to lack of torque and pressing down the pedal does not help at all...
pressing it lightly will bring it up but mpg but rpms will hover around 1500 and overall mpg suffers even more, espically when I'm at a stop sign and i decided to go through it in 2nd, its almost if 2nd eats more gas than 1st most of the time. (as i'm bringing up revs from 1000 to 2500 so that i can shift to 3rd gear)
and for those with scanguages how the HELL do i see instant MPG and average MPG at the same time? With only being able to see one or another unless I press a few buttons is abusrd!!!!!!!!!!!
what are your shift points? say on a flat road and when you come to a stop sign do you prefer to stop completely or have a little bit of momentum and start in 2nd and lug for a bit till rpms reach to an acceptable level to shift into 3rd?
