Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 how do you find lifetime numbers? Yes, please share how you got those, 08SGT1977. 23 MPG too! That's great. I get 14 MPG - all short trip driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well... I was around 20ish pre-SC and "normal" driving; Now it's about 14! (Not "normal") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys in the Army too? Here's the GI proof instructions (ha ha!). Go to the odometer and record the mileage. Select the info button until you get "Gallons used" and record the lower number (lifetime). Here's the tough part for us soldiers: divide the miles by gallons to get the lifetime MPG. Post it here for all to see. Let us know if you are supercharged/turbocharged etc. Mine was 24 MPG but I have been running 20" wheels for a few weeks and it's getting colder. I know it's about smiles per gallon as we bought these cars for their performance but thought it was amazing to get more than 20 MPG in a muscle car!

Frank S Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I reset Gallons Used after every fill-up. It usually differs from actual gallons injected into the tank by half a gallon in ten. That's a five percent optimistic figure by car computing. 24 mpg x .95 = 22.8 -- still good for a performance car. My Lifetimes, by actual miles and actual gallons, and including a whole lot of autocross and drag-racing passes: 5-speed manual: 5775.1 / 270.113 = 21.38 (Last year's Terlingua trip, 2692.9 / 103.93 = 25.90) Auto OD: 2455.3 / 133.731 = 18.36 (This year's Terlingua was about the same length and typically calculated at 21-25 MPG tank to tank; I logged all the miles and gallons, but haven't put them in the spreadsheet yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 32,566 miles/2281.3 gallons = 14.3 MPG lifetime It's sure been an expensive year, but I've enjoyed the hell out of it. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 must be an '08 thing, my '07 doesn't have the lifetime numbers! It doesn't show how many gallons of fuel your car has consumed over it's lifetime? If it does, just do the math between that and your odometer reading.

jmn444 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 nope, there's no other gallons used other than the one that has been reset... i might look in the manual at some point, but since i've owned it i'm pretty sure i'm around 22 mpgs and that's having a good amount of fun in it, so I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans07SGT Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah mine reset also. Either that or I'm getting 56 mpg. Last April was the last time I reset it and since then my average is 19.8 mpg. Quite a surprise considering how I drive. I'm happy with that. Ken our mileage is close, I'm at 32,304.

Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 must be an '08 thing, my '07 doesn't have the lifetime numbers! Mine doesn't have lifetime numbers...maybe they removed it for fear drivers would look at it while driving and have a heartattack when they saw the amount. That's okay though...I always wanted to get to know my local gas station attendant on a first name basis. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorjock205 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hmmmm, I tried to view lifetime gallons used on my 08, and all I get is current gallons used...I've tried Single and Dual display mode....I don't get it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1977 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 hmm - maybe I should record a video and post it. I have the premium IUP. I wonder if the computer is different in the premiums?? It shows the total gallons for the trip and the lower number is for the lifetime of the vehicle. The other is just your total miles. You have to do the math. I would be interested in your numbers Carl, I know you like to go 150mph on your way to church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have IUP in mine, but I'm like Ilmor, I don't see anything but one line of numbers and it gets reset when I fill her up every time...A video of how to get to it or written instructions might help...or a page reference in the manual...

motorjock205 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just went out and looked at mine again...tried both single and dual mode on the display...single mode only shows one line of whatever it is that you are looking at...dual mode displays as follows: Trip 168.7 22209.3 173 Miles to E 22209.3 168.7 22.8 MPG 22209.3 168.7 MPG (up arrow) (down arrow) 7.4 Gals Used 22209.3 168.7 Time 0:00:00 22209.3 168.7 72 Avg MPH 22209.3 168.7 So assuming that your display is the same, when you look at the MPG, you get the MPG for the current setting, the odometer and the trip meter for your current trip, not the lifetime MPG...Unless I'm missing something like I said...I reset trip, mpg, time, all of that at every fill up. So, if I take my mileage, 22209.3 and divide it by what I see in MPG, 168.7, I'm getting 131.649674 MPG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngnear Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The only way to get a "Lifetime MPG" to work is if you have never reset you computer data from day one. You do realize that you can reset all the data (with the exeption of the odometer & miles to empty) on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I but lifetime "GALLONS USED" cannot be reset, only the trip gallons used can be reset, Carl. My car is at my place in Maryland. Next time I am up there I will try to make a video.

twobjshelbys Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I only have resettable Gallons used but not Lifetime. It's calculated by the way - based on RPM, stated fuel pressure from the fuel pump and the fuel injector ratings. I don't know if these parameters are updated when a Supercharger is added. It matters since the Kenne Bell kit includes new injectors and a boost-a-pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SGT1977 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yes, if you change tires, supercharge, etc, the computer will probably not be accurate anymore. My little MINI is only getting 23 but I can't keep my foot out of it. It sounds like a Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1977 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Not a video but a few pics of how to obtain the lifetime mpg data: Advance through the onboard computer screens using the "info" button. Advance until you find the mileage and record the lifetime mileage. My car shows 12,184.2 total miles on 29 OCT 09. Advance until you find the "gallons used" screen and record the number. This is a lifetime number. My car shows 527.9 on 29 OCT 09. 12,184.2 / 527.9 = 23.08050767191 or 23.1 lifetime mpg on 29 OCT 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
