OK - I know this is one of those cars that's never going to pull down 30+mpg, it's about the 'smiles per gallon' cars, but I've been tracking my vehicles for a while now using Fuelly.com

any other members tracking?



monitoring MPG is just as important as monitoring boost, IATs, etc... it can point to something failing (or just having too much fun!)

Very extra. I'm currently tracking what's going on at myaustinwhite.com right now. Def not worried about gas mileage.

skratch77

I got 230 miles out of one tank one week

I think I raced about 15 cars one night at the local street racing sceen

AMG E Power

My best is 280 but I always put about 17-17.5 gals per full up

Toadster

it's not so much the gas mileage, as I know it will not be fantastic - but if I start pulling in 9mpg regularly, probably have an O2 sensor going, etc..

If I would have had my Kiwi last month I would have known my IATs were up from a failing pump, not everything fails in black and white

LOL - I'm a little 'older' than that

But that's about what I get on a tank most weeks - but the highway weeks are much better!

tod how many shims did you end up using on your s/c pulley? is everything good now? you dont have to add anymore

Toadster

I believe it was just two - we swapped the factory springs for the ones on the new pulley - haven't had any movement - loving it!

berti_00

what do you mean the springs? so if you transfer everything from the old one to the new pulley everything will be tight?

Toadster

yes transfer the straps/springs from the old to the new pulley - you have to drill out the rivets and replace with new ones - of course keep the new bushing

no chirp!

berti_00

good to know man... thanks for the heads up!! how did you figure out the shims?

Toadster

I didn't it was PACougar and the tech (Dave) who figured it out

I just got the benefit of their trial/error... it's been rock solid.
