I feel like a proud parent.

assuming your odometer is accurate. if you've got a GPS use that. Or record everywhere you've gone and then google maps it to get distance measurements.

Yes i do mean the OBD i have never calculated it any other way. Ill be filling her up tonight ill see how many K's i get on the first 20 liters.

I'm planning on rebuilding it for a performance set up, not necessarily because it needs it

[Lance Racing]

I'm not sure if the motor is original, I need to compare VINs. Part of me wants it to be, and part of me doesnt. Either way a rebuild is in the cards.

When mine was at 150k I thought I'd get a rebuild at 200k. But when I hit 200k and the engine ran strong, I figured I'd go to 250k then rebuild. Now at 278k, and I'm rooting for how long my original engine will go.

Long live the M20.

If you're talking to me, no. My speedo is fairly accurate. At 80 its only about 4mph off.

[FREEFLOW]

I think your sensor is spinning twice as fast... does your speedo read 250mph when your on the highway?

[Moto-Mucci]

I should note that is curzin at 60km/h

I hope you're not going by your OBC.
Mine was telling me I got 18mpg highway, but when I calculated it using GPS and the full tank method I got 25-28mpg

It also told me I got 9mpg city :roll:

Lol well im the biggest looser about 100,000 mile or in my case 180,000km. It works out to be about 10,000km a year which is really good considering the average is about 20,000km a year. Don't know how you convert Km/L to MPG but i get 7 Km/L.

7km/l is like 16mpg. you must drive it like you stole it

[nando]

that's not so great, in fact that's pretty bad, especially steady state cruising

although it seems to me E30s get their best mileage between 50-70mph (80-110kph).

[Massimo]

According to google: 7 (kilometers / liter) = 16.4650208 miles per gallon

I should note that is curzin at 60km/h

[nando]

WTF? R u stupid????? fucking gas was not $3 a gallon back on the late 80's early 90's. so your failed math calculations are stupidly wrong.

hahaha.

[LosBemmer]

300,000 miles at 28mpg (bull) at $3/gallon costs $32,145 in fuel alone. Keep fucking that chicken.

I'm more impressed that the odo still works.

I think they only break because people reset them when the car is moving
