3rd Annual UY Mojave Road Expedition - March 14-16, 2014

That Whole 'Bernardino trip, I got 7mpg for the whole trip, which means I got something like 4mpg offroad or less.

WHAT?!?! I'm shocked you go anywhere that is not in "line of sight" of a gas station... puahahaha!!!

lol. Highway, I am usually around 16 or 17. I get 21 if I do 55 and no hills. Usually, off road I get 10ish.

Wow, that's a huge drop. My worst mileage offroad is Pismo but that's expected. Even 50 or 60 miles in Red Rock my mileage wasn't that bad. I should probably keep better records to look back on these kind of things.

I was shocked that even after driving the 60 or so miles of highway back, my mpg was 7! how the hell?!


Back on the topic of the trip. I expect everyone to have completed one of these: http://www.ultimateyota.com/entry.ph...ncy-Info-Sheet

I will not check, but you really should have it. I will add that to the first post as well.

If something happens to me you're going to have to get my information off my underwear as that's where I've written everything down.

I should probably keep better records to look back on these kind of things.

I showed this to Mike earlier today. I can login to the Nissan telematics website and see driving statistics for my Leaf.



I have never seen anything like it. I can click on a calendar day and it will tell me how many miles I drove that day, how many kilowatts of electricity I used and some other statistics I don't really care about. There is only a week worth of data here because that's when I bought the car.

So on the day shown, January 22, 2014, I drove 45.3 miles and used 10.2 kilowatts of electricity. I pay 10.2 cents per kilowatt, so the car cost me 10.2kw x 0.102 = $1.04 to drive 45.3 miles.

I could care less about this info for the Leaf since it's so cheap to drive, but I would LOVE something like this for the 4Runner.

A little offtopic, but when the subject of keeping records came up, I had to share! I'm sure there are smartphone apps that can do something similar.

Back on topic, the form seems like a good idea.

I wonder if torque pro will do something similar. That is way cool!

If torque pro can read injector pulse width through a BT OBDII connection, then I suppose it could do something similar.

BTW, I saw this today and thought to myself "what a perfect roof rack for Mojave!"

[Seanz0rz]

Awesome rack!

I'll have to look into the logging capabilities of torque pro. Might work with newer vehicle, I notice some things don't show up from the 4runner due to the older computer.
