Thread: VE's mpg...what are you getting?

Seeing that VVL/VTEC in it's base form is supposed to gain mpg, what type of figures are your VE swaps getting?

I've been seeing about 26-27mpg. I do a lot of highway driving, but every merge, pass and every on ramp is a trip to 8k RPM I think if I drive like a normal person, I could pull 30+.

When the car was turbo, I used to get around 23-24mpg.

Hard to get good mileage w/ stop n go traffic 2 hours a day. It gets me so frustrated that when theres no one on the road, i have a lead foot. 2 1/2 tanks filling up early, I'm over 600 miles. Thats still ~22+mpg

VVL = Increased tendency to hammer down!

Since my speedo cable is permanently broken, I have no true way to gauge my mpg. But it seems to be great, and I have a large feeling the tune i'm running is rich.

Dudeman

I avg about 500-550km per tanks, i get 11km per L and i love it, thats at 91 octane.... cant wait for the N1 to go in and see if its better or worse

Getting about 26-28.5mpg lately. This is with an SR16 trans. I drive about 50 miles a day as well, mostly highway.

My friends 94 G20T with a SR20VE that I built for him just got 33 MPG on a higway trip to Orlando and back with a SER gear box. He gets about 28 MPH in the city.


I get 35 MPG with a G20T box on my SR20VE 20V on the higyway and 31 MPG around town.

I got 29mpg highway driving last week and I once had 35 mpg but I have'nt been able to reproduce it yet.

What seems to be the best speed/rpm for gas mileage?

Holy ****. Dre send me a g20t trans

Low 30's driving easy on the highway. mid to upper 20's having fun. about the same as the car has (in all its iterations) since new.
