Short answer: "Yes"

To increase throughput one needs to increase *both* the gozintas and gozoutas.

Ah the gozintas very important variable

Oh man, I hope all the folks who check in every once in a while see this; y'all are on a roll this morning.

Does the heart good !

My Roadster is pretty consistent at 16 L pet km, which is about 34us mpg.

Thought I better edit this, 16km per L.

I use to have a boat, so no complaints here about mileage!

I know what you mean, I had a 1978 Ford E250 Quadravan with a mild cam, headers and 4 barrel. I don't think I ever busted the 10mpg barrier, usually 8-9 mpg.

My R3T with normal daily driving of 20 miles Interstate and 20 miles of city I get about 28-30 mpg.

16 litres per kilometer sounds like it may be running a tad rich.

The smiles per mile are not the problem!

That's the last time I ever trust a scan gauge 2, the first fill up was 26 mpg, the second was 33! I'm an idiot, thanks for all the responses. Can I trust the water temp now?! That's mainly what I bought the gauge for !

 

[Joesmoe]

Smart, NOT idiot ! You questioned the results, asked around, gathered more data, analyzed it with an open mind, and arrived at a different conclusion.

O.K. When out riding I don't possy foot around.
I set the trip meter to Zero when I fill up.
The next time I fill up I check the mileage, this afternoon for example, out blasting around some of the afternoon, I did 202.6Kms, filled the tank to the same point as always, 16.3 Liters.
So 202.6Km's is 126.62 Miles.
16.3 Liters is 3.58 Imperial Gallons, or 4.03 US Gallons
That is close enough to 35 MPG (Imperial) 31.4 MPG (US)
When just cruising I will often achieve more than 45MPG (Imperial)

This is almost identical to mine.
