What's the most efficient speed for your SUV?

**splerdu** · July 5th, 2003 08:37 AM

I was reading an article yesterday evening, it was about the LC80 4500 Gas. They tested mileage while cruising, and concluded 120kph was best for the LC80. Raising the cruising speed to 150kph they consumed 4 times as much gas because the boxy aerodynamic shape was at the limit already.

Does anyone know what the efficient speed for other SUVs would be? Or can we take 120kph as a mean for maximum cruising speed?

For the pajero, the speed would be much lower... say around 90-100Km/h. This may be because of its sheer lack of HP. I noticed that above this speed, i need to rev a lot more for a few km/h's. Nice that you pointed out the fruitlessness of running against aerodynamics. :D

ung escape ko siguro around 80 kph ang okay.

mas lalo kasing lumalakas sa consumo pag tumatapak na ko ng 100 pataas sa hiway..huhu..

80 kph on mys Strada.

sa 3.0 trooper? ano kaya... di kaya 120kph din?

**boybi** · July 6th, 2003 10:15 AM

sa patrol parang 140kph.

**OTEP** · July 6th, 2003 11:05 AM

Parang 80-90 kph yung sa akin. Parang lang. Hehehe. But I'm rarely running those speeds on the highway. 130kph is more fun to cruise in.

boybi..dagdagan mo pa ng kaunti..150 kph..sarap talaga ng cruising sa patrol!! imo.

I don't think this saves you on your fuel economy, imo.

For my Frontier, i'd guesstimate around 70-80kph. This is when the car is running at 5th with the revs at around the optimum torque range (2K+rpm).

Or maybe 160kph... in neutral...

how can you say that?

nasubukan mo na?na calculate mo na ung gas consumption ng patrol ng tatay mo?

**boybi** · July 7th, 2003 11:16 PM

yung mga trucks dati (surplus from japan) meron yellow zone sa odometer. at this rpm range pinakamatipid sa fuel.

**kiper** · July 8th, 2003 01:12 AM

aray..nagalit yata ung 2 nakasafari..

ganito..nasubukan ko na kasi sa SLEX..pero sandali lang. 145 kph.

from cavite hanggang bahay.

mga 3am na yata un eh..so hataw..pero alalay pa rin ako ng 80 to 100kph..

peace po..u

**afrasay** · July 8th, 2003 07:26 AM

80-90 kph. lakas na consumo pag 100 and above.

**boybi** · July 8th, 2003 09:36 AM

kiper, kasi naman ang tinatanong most fuel efficient cruising speeds....

**wombat** · July 8th, 2003 10:35 AM

My most fuel efficient speed for my pajero 2.8 is 80 kph at 2k rpm...
