Average MPG Display ... ?

[ARtraveler]

I am thinking this is getting way more technical than it needs to be. MPG is just a number. 100 or more variables can go into making the number. The basic formula of miles driven/# gallons used is affected by the above.

After owing a few spyders and driving almost 150,000 miles on them--the bottom line for me--the 990/998's get about 29 - 31. The 1330 gets about 39 - 41. I have done a little better, and a little worse from time to time--but that is my average over 10 years.

For me--rounding to 1 decimal (5.34 = 5.3 for gallons) and (150.57 = 151 for miles) is good enough. I am not going to sweat the small stuff. Life to short and many more miles to drive. Don't have to worry about the small stuff.

Happy Monday and lets go riding. :yes:

This is common on cars. The technology exists. The Spyder computer and display have the capability. So why is it disabled?

The third part of the equation is something to measure the fuel flow.
Since I don't THINK that information is needed for anything else..........

And with automobiles it tends to create more questions and confusion that costs the company money to try and explain.

Blueknight911, what speakers did you get to replace the factory speakers? Front and rear? Any modifications required?

Mostly because MPG numbers are fairly meaningless in real life driving. I'm working on graphing my mpg for the last two years and will post them when I get them finished. Essentially, MPG goes up and down like a kid on a trampoline. Even the graph of a 4 fill running average is very erratic. I may do a 10 fill running average to see how much less erratic that graph is.

Here are my graphs, along with a fun poll!

JBL's

Rob[/ ....JBL's FRONT & REAR IN 5.25" size ..... they are 2 ohm & that makes them sound better than 4 ohm .... you would need to En-large the rear cut-out to 4 5/8th in ..... and change the mounting holes to suit ... others here have done this & loved them ..... I used GTO 528's & GTO 508c models which can only be found now on E-bay or Amazon because they were up-graded by new models ( that aren't 2 ohm ) .... look at " Beadaholics " Mod page , She posted pics & a video on this swap ....
