"Drafting"? You mean tailgating dangerously close?
Shutting your car off while in motion? Are they really serious? I'm all for increasing fuel milage, but driving habits like these are insanely dangerous to other motorists, let alone yourself...

QUOTE(devilsden97 @ May 31, 2007 - 11:45 AM) [snapback]563400[/snapback] ok so today a guy i work with that is into RX-7's comes over to me and askes me what the standard MPG for a Supra TT...city and highway... I really have no idea so i told him so. Then he says he read a thread on a forum where some guy got 22mpg on his Supra Twin-Turbo... I responded with, "it seems possible if u lay off boost and your just cruising on the highway..." No sooner did I finish that sentence he responded with, "but the car has 1300RWHP." Take the hypermilers...1300RWHP supra TT just pwnd your 75+ mpg...id much rather rock that 1300hp supra and get 22mpg then a prius and get 75mpg. x987468601461089462623897463789461986 im the type of guy who enjoys driving his car and im not gonna shut my car off or draft people i dont speed (to much) lmao but i do enjoy driving -------------------- 2015 Subaru WRX.
