HighWay Gas Mileage with Valet Key On?
 
All,

Have a friend in Oregon that has a Red/Red 91 ZR1. He told me it is no way you can get 27-30 MPG on the Highway with the Key on. I told him when I drive up to the Seattle Area (Renton, Washington) from Portland Oregon (160 miles). When I fill up in Renton, I put in 5 1/2 to 6 gallons depending on how much fuel I can squeeze in the tank. He told me that is impossible, our secondaries must not be working or faulty.

I've checked a few times both before and after installing Marc's chip (which defaults the power key on) usually get numbers around 27/28

I can't imagine why anyone would keep their key off while driving themselves, but even when it is on you can get great mileage as long as you don't get into it too often.:wink:

:cheers:
