Shoulda Bought An EcoDiesel!!!

On what planet is a 7.5 second 0-60 "keeping up" with a 4 second 0-60? 15.8s 1/4 mile vs 12.9s (which would be quicker if it weren't already at the speed limiter)? Sure you can "keep up" with anyone when you're both choosing to drive the same speed. With your current experiment you can't even keep up with the big rigs pulling triples.

This was earlier today. I've actually already passed 200 miles on trip timer A, also still over 32 mpg.

That's nothing! Look at these numbers from returning from rock crawling this afternoon!

Shoot if these numbers keep going this way I might be closer to 600 mi on one tank of diesel than 500.

258.8 mi traveled, with a range of 309 mi. That's 567.8 mi on one tank!!!

I took these to show oil temps while towing, but it shows MPG also. Yeah, these are "instant", but I can tell you that I usually get 35mpg hwy normal and around 17mpg towing.

For the last year diesel was move expensive then premium. Now everything has switched to renewable #2 in San Diego. Skepticism about the new fuel aside the price is no longer attached to petroleum prices so it’s now $0.20 under regular

What is "renewable #2??"

With a killer headwind today I pulled 23.5 MPGs on this last tank. Hilly 2 lane roads, lots of elevation changes, with rain yesterday. Not too bad at just over 2,600 miles.

Ya I’m still trying to fully understand ha. This picture helped explain it to me. So basically it’s refined liked petroleum diesel but the crude oil is plant based. Next time you fill up look to see if there is a little orange sticker by the pump mentioning ‘biomass based’ diesel.

Correct. Otherwise known as R95 or R99. Everything I read says it's indistinguishable from #2 Diesel and in fact better then it. People say they have more power/better MPGs running it. Sounds like the one thing CA actually has going right. I haven't come across it yet to test for myself.

I get as good or better mpg than the OP with my 2.0 Turbo and I can run 87.

Not to call you out, but PROVE IT!

Talk is cheap. ?

You can't really tell from the photo, but I still have a little over an eighth of a tank left.
