Mileage Record Shattered!

Posted in Random thoughts by dave on May 23, 2006 1 Comment

To those skeptics who might have been skeptical of my earlier claimed fuel mileage post, I give you the results of my last two tanks of gas:

5/14/06 … 12.799 gallons for 384.1 miles = 30.0 MPG
5/17/06 … 10.348 gallons for 297.4 miles = 28.8 MPG

Long live my fuel-sipping Intrigue! :)

[Of course, as I type this we've just returned from a trip to the local Chevy dealer to check out Trailblazers and Equinoxes!]

    Death be to the Intrigue!!
    30 mpg with 3.5 litre engine = 105
    35 mpg with 2.2 litre engine = 77
    Above numbers represent “displacement efficiency score”, a measure created by ME to demonstrate the fuel efficiency of a vehicle regardless of engine size.
    Chevy Cobalt would have to get 47.73 mpg to equal “displacement efficiency score” of Oldsmobile Intrigue.
    Death be to the Intrigue!!
