    Driving 10k+ km in one month. Beginning of March to April

    Hey guys, if you need any specific data, I can maybe gather, I am running CVTz50. Or anything that might require a long trip to determine. Use me as a tester.

    Good luck, remember to pack your tyre repair kit and pump.

    See how much oil you burn if any in that one shot.

    Do you use the forum's Fuel Economy Log? Please do, and notate in the log that this is your "10k miles per month use." Something like that. It would create an interesting lump of data in the fuel log. Also, notate the speeds you try to hold during this.

    What are you doing that's going to rack up that kind of mileage? I think the Mirage makes a helluva trip car. Sure it could be bigger and more comfortable, but to me the driver's seat and driver's area is plenty good enough. And sure, the mpg does take a bit of a hit at 70+ mph ... but even after the hit, it's still mo' bettuh than any other gasoline ICE that I'm aware of. A 1.9L diesel Jetta might be competitive though. In any event, this will make good interesting info.

    I use Fuelly. It's quick, easy, and you can keep maintenance records there too. I find using cruise works great on these thing to keep rpm down low. I can't manipulate the throttle to keep speed up and rpm down like the car can using cruise control. It's weird, or maybe I just have a lead foot?

    I use fuelly too (for 100 years so far), but double up and put my fuelly entries up in here also ... for forum benefit.

    It's probably your Alberta foot ������

    I managed to get way better gas mileage in the hills especially off of cruise, on the flats and semi flats as well, I am the better cruise control. It's good for when I get tired of pedaling ��������

    Yeah, but what kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
