210 miles @37.8 mpg.................

[dave01]

And that was following Doc today. I was surprised:yikes::yikes::yikes:.
Added the 2011 windshield and removed the lower winglets, tweaked the JB Pro a little and off we went today. Mostly highway, around 70-75 mph.

So far, my total average works out to 35.6 mpg over the last 2700+ miles.

What were you getting before you made the changes?

 

[SpyderWolf]

:congrats: Sounds like you may have this one dialed in just right.

I gained a little over 2 mpg after the changes. Not a huge amount, but she is running great, no fuel fumes when running and still running at 4-5 bars today with 94 ( not correct) degrees on the air temp guage.

WOW

WOW! I hope at some point I could get my RS dialed in that good. That would give me a 350 mile range with a gallon for reserve. :clap: [URL="http://planetsmilies.net"][/URL]

:congrats: on your super mpg. :thumbup:

My Chinese calculator tells me that at 35.6 mpg and 6gal. of fuel would be
a total of 213.6 mi. with the engine running, Hope your going downhill..ray:

Freebob...:doorag:

Your calculator did not take into consideration that he has a Fuel Safe auxiliary fuel cell in his front trunk. You should check out his mods thread, as it is very impressive. :thumbup:

 

[SpyderWolf]

Yep, 6 gal usable under the seat and 5 gal in the frunk. Yea I admit, I'm showing off.

If you got it, flaunt it. :2thumbs:

Willing to share your JBPro settings? My mileage has been sucking lately.

You sure that isnt Kilometers per gallon ? :roflblack:

Yep. Like I said, I was a little surprised too but I check each tank when I fill up to see if any changes are working. Apparently, they are.

Sorry about that. I got a call from the International Space Station the other day asking me if I could tone things down a bit. I told them I would take it under consideration, but probably not. :roflblack:

Nope. I have been diligent on checking this each time. RPM's kept at or below 5500, speed kept at no more than 70, unless passing or catching up to group. Its just a test to see how personal throttle control, use of the cruise and fuel mapping can change the mpg of the rotax.
