Dam, seeing this ...
Dam, seeing this old video you can see how much better Matt has? gotten at these kind of vids
Matt was shifting ...
Matt was shifting at 2,000rpm?! Jesus Christ, in my Dakota R/T, I try to play the automatic tranny to shift as soon as possible, and that's usually at 1,700rpm or less. If it was a manual, I'd be shifting quite a bit sooner than that. There is so much torque from the 5.9L Magnum (and Matt's Corvette has WAY more than my R/T) that more revs simply? aren't necessary. I NEVER let the engine get above 2,000 unless I'm trying to seriously move out.
All that said, I average 14mpg.
he just said the? ...
he just said the? prius is cool. automatic f*g
Where is the drag ...
Where is the drag raceeeeeeeeee?
I asume newer corvettes does less mpg thought. And as billybobjoe198 said if u don't leave it on neutral but on some? gear downhill u will get 99.9mpg too.
lol. if ur car is ...
lol. if ur car is fully warmed up, you can shut the engine off, coast, and? when u need to brake, turn on ignition, let goclutch and fired it up as u brake
its true. my friend ...
its true. my friend put all syn. oil in his engine, tranny, diff, and got a cold air kit and leaned out his afr--- 37mpg on FLAT hwy?
one time i was told ...
one time i was told -my 98 corvette gets 24miles to the gallon- it was an old dude.
after seeing this i believe him. ?
ding ding! The ...
ding ding! The engine uses more? fuel to idle than to coast in-gear.
go go gadget prius?
go go gadget prius?
You people are ...
You people are idiots.
If you're rolling down a hill in a n EFI car that's manual you need to leave it in? gear to maximize gas mileage. 4:22 he says he was in neutral, if you have it in your highest gear you'll manage minimal engine braking while using the gearing to your advantage to have the wheels turn the engine over rather than the gasoline. You do not use fuel while coasting in gear, you do while in neutral.
And at? 3:38!
And at? 3:38!
Thumbs up if you ...
Thumbs up if you skipped the ad at 1:34!? :D
i can't believe ...
i can't believe people would actually? believe something this stupid
total bunk? a test ...
total bunk? a test this short proves well nothing.
Well... the Prius ...
Well... the Prius gets it's good mileage in the city because of regenerative braking. It gets better mileage in the? city the the hwy. So not a good comparison.
Corvette wins it ...
Corvette wins it obvious. sztill, for far less money then that Corvette, you could also have? bought another Toyo:
The MR2 GT ...
@JohnnyAppleTv ...
@JohnnyAppleTv They? need money, so they advertise
The Corvette is? ...
The Corvette is? more efficient...
When Prius came out ...
When Prius came out it was all electric. People would turn away from buying them because they took a lot of time and effort to keep them charged? up. The other thing I watched people turn away from Prius back then was the fact they costed around $100k and you were required to take time consuming courses to learn how to upkeep the power supply. Now they are hybrids getting fuel economy like GM v6 cars could get in the early 2000's. For example a Alero or Grandam can get 42mpg on the hway gov rated
his last name? is ...
his last name? is spinelli soo yea 99% sure hes clay aikens bro
thats a smart ...
thats a smart comment your completely right? it does take more for that fuel efficient car to run high speeds on the high way but no one understands that a prius is good for staying in the city
how can you call ...
how can you call this a crap experiment the car is well at least 4 years old so the? engine is worn out and is not going to be running to the best it could be but it does have 4 times the amount of the prius and also 34 mpg in a v8 is amazing and well getting 39.4 mpg in a pretty much generated card thats pretty bad and i mean really bad because both cars went the same distance threw the same hills if they took different routes yes it would be a stupid experiment
So you proved that ...
So you proved that by? shifting into neutral on a standard car on downhills you can save gas? You drove 43 miles, which proves so, so little because so many variables come into play. I agree, this is a crap experiment.
This is a crappy? ...
This is a crappy? experiment. Everyone knows more driving is required to accurately measure mpgs. boo.
Come on driving a ...
Come on driving a Corvette and trying to save fuel, thats? so not Rock n Roll. Wouldnt have either of these cars there both two extremes, nobody who drives a Corvette is going to buy it to drive at Low RPMs. Stupid and Pointless Video....
+++++GasHole full ...
+++++GasHole full documentary is now? available on youtube revealing? oil companies conspiring against the 100mile per gallon car...and the disappearance of? Tom Vogel inventor of the vapour engine++++
my pop's Lexus ...
my pop's Lexus IS250? AWD get 35 MPG!!!
