MMMMMM correct me if i am wrong but aren't you the guy that wrote a thread complaning about drop in fuel mileage ?? do you wonder why ??

and also aren;t you the one inquiring about doing burn outs from a stop ,,and than wonder why gas mileage has dropped ?? and than you ask if the gas gauge is working properly ???
Are you cathing my drift ???
No offense , but till you start driving properly i feel that asking about fuel mileage drop is an ABSURD question to ask this form and a total waste of time for other members trying to come up with an appropiate reply trying to justify it....

LOL, Nice........With the TCS on it only lets me get to 130, but with it off I have been in the 143-4 range and then it gets kinda hairy. I still have plenty of RPM's left but I really dont thinkI need to go much faster than that in my car.

I dont know what the top speed is in my accord, and truthfully dont really care. I took my M3 up to 156 once, and will never drive that fast again, unless its on a road course. Everything gets really small at that speed, including your body parts if you happen to wreck!

i went like 90, had plenty to go, but we were on the interstate, and that was on friday and i didnt particularly want to break the car before i even got it home, so we kept it at around 75 the whole way home.

Original engine, pegged the speedometer at 130mph. New engine and digital HUD speedometer, got as high as 160 before I started getting worried.
