What is the best MPG you ever got and in what car?
I got 60mpg in a Honda Civic for 70 miles once. But been able to replicate it. Normally get 50mpg.
72 MPG in my Prius, BUT… That was on a Sunday morning with no traffic, which allowed me to take it easy and use up battery power along with engine power. On regular days, with people riding your bumper, it's impossible to get more than 45 MPG. On the freeway, it's over 50 MPG.
I had a '74 Civic CVCC, once, don't remember the MPG, musta been 44 on freeway. It didn't last long.
I got 50 once in my Terse Hell. I filled it up after I got it, drove to Tombstone and back; that is 65 on freeway w/cruise, up about 2,000 feet, then 35 thru town. Still got 43 MPG.
My Honda 650 would get a consistent 52 MPG, Average, with the original rear tire. The Harley, 47 if Premium and do I speed limit on freeway.
Got 32 MPG in a Lexus GS350 with a large 6-cylinder engine -- amazing.
- What's the most expensive vehicle you've ever driven? I drove a $150,000 Mercedes G-Class at work today. I work at an auto mall so I get to drive a ton of different cars everyday, but we normally sell mainline brands (Honda, Toyota, Ford and so on) so expensive cars like those are rare there as they only come in for conditioning. I've also driven a Range Rover and Audi Q7
- What is the most reliable car you've ever owned and how many miles did you put on it? Mine was Honda Passport with 250,000 miles bought brand new. Yeah I know it was rebadged Isuzu Rodeo but it was surprisingly reliable with no major problems.
- Will honda and yamaha ever make a motorcycle to compete with the Hayabusa and ZX-14R? The most powerful Yamaha/Honda motorcycles are the Yamaha R1 and the Cbr-1000rr. Will they ever make a bike 1300 - 1400 cc bike to compete with the Suzuki Hayabusa (1300cc) or the Zx14 (1400cc)?
- I have a 2015 Honda rancher that had a crack in the air box. It got so much dirt through the air filter it got into my piston. So it now Burns oil and I was wonder will it ever stop smoking. I know I have to rebuild the engin so don't even say it. And how long will it take before it losses power.
