(11-01-2013, 12:03 PM)Simpler=Better Good to see oyu on STD Luna
When I had my crapcan I got 28mpg ONCE doing 55-60 the whole way (was afraid an axle would fail). That was with an auto and mediocre engine tuning.
Yeah, that's why I'd be interested in the 5-speed as opposed to the four-speed... I was doing the math -- or rather, having CSGNetwork do the math for me -- and it looks like the .84 top gear that came in the 2.2 coupled with the 3.07 currently in the car would give me the same effect as a 2.47 on the highway with 722 while not sacrificing city driveability. Brian Carlton over at PP looks to be getting 29-30 with relaxed highway driving in his stock 300SD. I'd like more than that.
It's good to see you here! This thread is what finally got me to post. I just googled "STD" to try to get onto the forum... whoops...
<-- Hmm -- I'll have to get used to the different smileys here.

1979 240D 4-speed 234k -- turbo and tuned IP, third world taxi hot rod
. Given to me by JB3, who got it from purplecomputer.Some blasphemous vehicles in the fleet as well -- 2004 Corolla 5-speed and 1994 Buick Century
