[DMCForum] Re: DeLorean MPG (M Babb)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So you're getting the same results as the professionals -- imagine that!

I put 30 MPG DeLoreans in the same category as unicorns and boat
hauling Hondas -- nice ideas but you'll never see one in real life.

It is true that aggressive driving reduces actual MPG, but isn't that
the whole idea behind the car in the first place? I didn't buy a
DeLorean to drive like an old man to the breakfast buffet. As you
discovered, won't even see 18 MPG if you spend most of your time in
the upper RPM's.
