Just curious, what is your average MPG when it is raining out and the roads are slick? All C Classes.

Mine drops by .02 MPG since the slick roads make the tires slip just a little bit and that extra slippage does not apply forward movement to the car, hence the .02 MPG loss at the wheels.

 

is this serious? lol

 

yeah totally

 

 

This deserves this week's standard response: STFF n00b!! There's a search button and DIY sticky at the top of the page

 

You may be asking yourself, Mr. ctC230K, how exactly do you calculate these .02 MPG lost???

Well my friend, I will tell you. I drive the car for precisely 100 miles and after the 100 miles I pull over, and siphon the gas out of my gas tank, including draining the engine of fuel past the fuel pump.

Then I measure the remaining gasoline and then I can tell that I am down exactly 2 miles less than I should be for the ounces of gas remaining in the gas tank.

Precisely Watson, precisely.

 

You are not alone, I however, usually, dangle my car from the front cross member and shake out any remnants. This procedure also works to clear out loose change and shake off excess oil from my K&N Filter.

traction control eat my tires like crazy during rain

 

 

I stopped using the siphon procedure a while back. I accidentally swallowed gas, and had to go to the Emergency Room. The Doctor diagnosed me with "Ethanol Diarrhea". I hope my poop had nothing to do with the crazy global warming temperatures we had this winter.

Anyways, my mpg drops by at least 0.575890423424452223455 MPG when the roads are slick. Plus, I have like a million broken hoses in my engine, which not only have caused me to get beat by a girl in an automatic Audi slower than mine, but has also affected my MPG...but it doesn't affect my MPG as much as the rainy days. - rainy day smiley

 

 

Really? I calculated .03 MPG drop. You are way off.

 

LOL I just got this part!!

Oh man, but what I really want to know is,

will the rain affect the MPG I get with a Sprint Booster and by how much MPG??????? And how does it work in the rain? And who is selling the Sprint Booster? I only want to pay $2.99.

 

Don't get the Spring Booster. It doesn't work. Yes, it does work. No, it doesn't. Yes it does. No, it's a scam. No, it's real. No it doesn't work. Yes, it does!

I know!!! I have it and I'm selling it, it's such a scam.

SO Who wants to buy it? FS: Sprint Booster, $50 more than whatever they selling it for new.

Also, FS: Used K&N Filter. oil pre-sucked into my engine so it should be nice and dry for you to slip into your filter box. no pre lube necessary!

 

i'll take both of them for a good price of $9.95, you pay shipping

 

I've figured out how to make the Sprint Booster work, improve my mpg, get rid of the K&N oil problem, and gain performance.

Here's what you do-
1) clean the oil off of your K&N and install the K&N where the cabin filter used to be
2) install said cabin filter where the K&N was
3) completely cover the spring booster in k&n oil


Oh, and be sure to use 87 octane fuel- I heard it weighs less because there is less octane.

Dood, if you are going to tell everyone what the super secret mod is, please, at least get the fuel additive in. Play Doh, in massive quantities, as much as you can stuff in the tail pipe. The S/C cars need backpressure to spool up. The ramp up is amazing.

 

and who needs brakes? they are heavy and when you want to go fast less weight is better! take them off and use them as a paper weight. just have a parachute to slow down [ why would you though? ], or if you're cheap, wal-mart plastic bags do the dew!

 

My LED's don't work.

 

lol! well ever since I poured a 5lb bag of sand through my K&N, things have improved. Also I now use 85 octane instead of 87, who cares if your engine lasts only 10k miles, 85 is so much more economical!!

 

I don't know what kind of engine oil to use.

 

use the extra virgin. also the organic type gives u 15HP.
