I averaged 30.4 mpg for the 8CCD-VI trip last year. But I ain't got no powah!
I should bring our son's k20swap Civic EG. Now that has some serious power.

^ Nice!
I averaged 16 mpg last time at the dragon with the vette. My drive to and from averaged over 26 mpg.

That's fantastic fuel mileage for such a strong performing car. It makes sense though. You have a relatively light car with lots of hp & slippery aerodynamics. What kind of RPMs are you seeing @ 70 mph?

Is that the same one from the RA video u showed before?
The si is faster in a straight line, especially now that it shifts right. My mpgs have gone down some lately, since it is such a joy to shift at any rpm.

No, that one was our other son's. It had a B18 swap.

The engine management system shuts down cylinders 8 -> 6 -> 4. Rolling on the highway at 70 mph, the vette is running in 6th gear combusting in only half the engine at approximately 2000 rpm. I can only imagine it would improve slightly with narrower tires than 325 & 275 mm wide.

I think I averaged 18 to 20 at the Dragon with the e30.
In the Si, I average 30 to and from work.

So....what kind of HP does your 4-cyl. Vette have?

I would assume it's still more than a stock Si makes.

I'll get 27 on the highway with the wrx if I keep my foot out of it

It doesnt matter how I drive the Si. I always get 30 back and forth from work. The lowest I got was at the Dragon, but I dont know what it was. Thats not why I was there.

what performance car is going to give you more than that (same driving style) where it is worth it to change for mpg?

I just got 38 on my last tank out of my little r18. Jealous that you guys are so close in mileage with so much more power!!!!
The drive to The Dragon I was doing around 40 at The Dragon 15-20.....lol. Guess the R18 hates being in 2nd while sitting at like 5-7k rpm....lol
