Who /ecomodder/ here?

>hypermilers
>driving automatics

you're one hell of a retard

modern autos are better for mileage.The turbines in the torque converter can be locked together with a clutch to eliminate any power losses there when cruising

except that they give autos lower gear ratios

Go look at the EPA rating for any modern car these days, the autos always get a couple MPGs more than the manuals

that's literally wrong

fueleconomy.gov/

the only cars that get better MPG than manuals are those with CVT

Is that not an automatic? Does it not use a torque converter?

>CVT=Automatic
don't go full retard

CVT is completely different than an automatic gearbox

You guys manually change the ratios in a CVT? You're both so cool

lol

Nobody calls a CVT an automatic, they call it a CVT

Even the EPA sites call it "continuously variable"

You have severe autism

I don't think they implied that. They just said it was different from a traditional auto.

>is a subtype of automatic transmissions
>DURR IT ISN'T AN AUTOMATIC

>caring this much about mpg
Are you poor?

Yes why

>wanting to fill up twice a week
>not wanting to challenge your own patience

>tfw i managed to baby a 3500lb fiberglass coffin to 20mpgs by short shifting and never getting on it

>is mechanically different from auto in almost every way besides one common part
>HURRR SAME THING STOP QUESTIONING ME

>The gear ratio is constantly variable
>The driver controls the gears?
>Oh no
>Wait
>The transmission does
>>>>>>>>Automatically

That's a cool ass truck, user

There are no gears in a CVT transmission.

Turn your brain on.

Yeah only gear ratios
Guess what also have gear ratios
Gearboxes.

I average 33 city in my Civic hatch without even trying. I should take notes from all those other EG owners topping the charts.

Honestly how bad is choking out my Automatic Corolla at the top of kills and letting it roll down and starting it again when i lose speed

google is not an invention dumbass

>google is not an invention
IDIOT

Only 55?
320d does 60 something mpgs lmao

There are no gears in a CVT, no matter how much you liken it to a gearbox. Which is a transmission case full of gears.

There are no gear ratios in a CVT, for there are no gears.

There is a reduction ratio that is continuously variable, and this is done sans gears.

That's a bit like saying a banana is like an antelope as they both have skin.

You thick, man.

it's game dude like flappy bird
how far can you go

Stop feeding him, you can't reason with tard

Nigga my shitbox does 80mpg in a flat highway

What is it then a discovery?

Retard alert

Thinks 55MPG is in anyway impressive.

most cars get like 30

What is happeneing in this pic?

a piston is going to space

basically this

>muh em pee gays
fucking faggots

>Michelin is an invention
>Ferrari is an invention
google is not the only search engine and it wasn't the first either

I guess my 5 speed manual is an automatic because it has gears

>the earth is mostly water
>we are mostly water
>therefore we are earth

We're stardust

Found the pickup truck driver

...

Does it automatically select gears? Then it is very likely that it is an automatic gearbox.

Does it require human input to manually engage gears by means of a dog clutch? Then no, the transmission is not automatic.

Does your transmission use a pair of coencentric cones linked by means of a chain or fibrous belt to continuously vary the reduction ratio? Your transmission is a CVT.

Surely life is not this hard for you on the daily.

I'm out of the game already since WRX requires high octane :)

Is this your car op?

do these people actually have access to a wind tunnel or do they throw shapes at the car and see what sticks?

No idea but this guy claims he gets 95 mpg and all it cost him was $400 and his dignity.

www.aerocivic.com

you don't really need wind tunnels

How the fuck do I get the mileage my car claims?
>manual
>tells you when to shift
>got 3mpg less highway on cruise control

Thin oil.

Yeah...no.

>boat-tails are super aerodynamic and get people mad MPG
>they still haven't come back as a style choice

ECO(nomy)
MOD(ification)

it's simple shit

Getting 17 city and 26 hwy by hand calculations on premium. Doesn't make a kek of sense but whatever.

Muh dick

>Being this big of a faggot
Wunna know how I know you're a poorfag RPing as a richcunt? Richfags care about mpg just like everyone else you shit

>Trying to have a dick measuring contest
GM purchased a custom home made engine built by a guy in his garage that got 100mpg in the mid 1980's
Mpg showing off is retarded, this is just discussion for how to improve and learn more
Go be a cunt elsewhere
