I drove to flag staff today, Shitty drive it was raining. I set the cruz for 80mph the whole time and when we were leaving we topped off the tank, I noticed we had quite a bit of gas still so as I was pulling out of the station I changed to Average MPG and it said 41.1mph. Whoa. Even after racing 2 cars on the way home I still was at 33.5 mpg. this is the best i have ever gotten! the most I have gotten is 26.5 mpg @ 80mph and 28.4 at 70mph. I am impressed and Shocked! The only thing I can think of is the e3 plugs I have no other explanation?? I have driven this drive 3 times in the past. Crazyness!!!

Dang I would love to see that high, or for that matter mid 20's on my normal drive. Stupid stop and go traffic with too many lights to count :rant2:

It's REALLY easy to get. Just chose an empty road to drive a steady 45mph, and reset the mpg gauge. It will show you some "funny" numbers, like 44, or even more. Of course, this is all insignificant..... These readings are AVERAGE readings, so like ANY average, the more you drive the more accurate the number is.

Since then I've been doing city driving, and I'm at 24.5MPG with a cumulative 200 miles. Bleh.

Just got back from a trip to the black hills, 1200 mile round trip from home, and about 350 - 400 up there driving the hills. The car used 52.31 gallons of gas. 2007 Sonata SE V6 with 17000 miles. Average speed on the interstate was 80 and using the air. And about 35 in the hills with windows down and sunroof open. I was satisfied with the results.

It works out to 30.58 mpg. I would not be happy with 23 mpg.

We have asked several time for proof, but it's just not transmitting to me like that. The pics only prove the momentary Average MPG. If you really want to convince us, then get the data. If it adds up, I'll buy them from you at $20.00 per plug and you keep the profit. Here is what I ned to see. 1: Picture of the reciept of fill up and dash odometer together with the Average milage reset to zero. back away far enough to see the fuel guage too. 2: Drive the car as best as you can to get the best milage posible. 3: Pull into the gas station after 1/2 a tank or so and take a picture of the dash again BEFORE filling it up. Needs to show the AMPG - milage - and tank guage. 4: Fill up the tank and take a picture of the reciept, AMPG, and fuel guage and odometer. Do not reset the AMPG (Average Miles Per Gallon) This will not only solve the doubt in peoples eyes about the plugs, but it will make me send you money for the purchase of the E3 plugs. It would save me a bundle if I could get 40+ mpg. You can keep the extra and I will write an official apology for doubting these plugs ( NO JOKE ). So please, prove me wrong. I just think the plugs a gimmick.

I really need to pinch my washingtons and I hate to sayit, but I have 15k on a 4 month old car. Imagine how much money 40mpg will save me. :frozen: BTW: Quit swearing, you can get your point across with facts better than swearing. This post has been edited by Sort Em: Jul 16 2008, 09:01 AM
