Yeah those m11's like to cruise around 1500 at least. Totally different from most engines.

I had one that cruised at 1600 at 62 mph. Thing got 8.5 mpg consistently.

Spec's don't matter in fuel mileage remember.... the only thing that matters is speed. Slow down and you'll get the best fuel mileage. :roll:

What dimwit(jegzus) doesn't seem to understand, is that I did infact say both do matter. What he said is that vehicles will get the same fuel mileage at different speeds, which is bullshit.

What I said is that you slow any vehicle down, you will get better fuel mileage. He's been acting like a child since.

I've been acting like a child? Pull your head out of your ass for longer than it takes to take a breath so you can get oxygen into your brain. You can't tell someone that has driven a vehicle that got BETTER fuel mileage at higher speeds that in EVERY vehicle you will get better fuel mileage by slowing down.

Then you must be driving on a different planet that does not go by simple physics.

BTW, there is something called "variation".

I've gotten better mileage at 65 mph then at 60 mph sometimes too, but 95% of the time it's the other way around.

Yes, see the next sentence you type:

Case closed.

Bailiff.....

If you're good for anything allan it's to laugh at I will say that. But it's ok keep thinking that you know everything. I'd love to see you out on the road one day because I'm sure you'd be one of the whiners bitching about everything and anything on the radio, I can just tell because that is the type of person you are.

I don't bitch and whine. I keep my costs under control, and I don't take bullshit.
