87 vs 89 vs 93 octane - my findings

[07navi]

That ratio is Never perfect, because conditions are always in play, hence why the 10Spd exists. Slope, load, and so forth. Shift strategy in these news Trans is out of this world on how many things it factors in. Things are not cut and dry as they used to be.

Welcome to the present...and not the past.

Not the past (I didn't have to put my age in the avatar), not gear ratios, overdrives, 20 speed trans, etc. it's the FINAL RATIO at freeway speeds and that hasn't changed from day one. You either have it dialed in correctly or you don't. Yes it is cut and dried, and I don't why you and the kid don't grasp it. It is beyond me why you 2 keep bringing up ratios, trans speeds, etc. I need to leave this alone now to preserve my sanity.........lol

Nope. My local Track is still not open. Several others with times close to mine have videos out there in the ether if you look around.

For a while my Dragy app wouldn’t do the video option, that appears to be working now, so I might get another 0-60 run in the near future.

Damn Loki! My C6 Z06 would have a tough time with that Explorer! And I'd have to nail the launch perfectly - which is not easy on a 2006 6 speed manual.

OVERALL FINAL GEAR RATIO, It's what's for dinner.

It is FUN! The advantage of RWD bias AWD and the 10Spd Auto is a GREAT combo.

In your analogy that is at freeway speeds on a magic road in TheoryLand. Hence why more gears generally improve MPG. You are keeping it in the sweet spot in more conditions, and possibility of lower RPM’s under more conditions. IT IS NOT all about final drive ratio when MPG is concerned in the real world.

Yes it is, I'm done, talk to the claimer of the 20 mpg's

Funny that in all the years I have been in forums nobody has ever admitted they were wrong.

I have admitted many times I am wrong on these forums. In the 3rd Gen Section it was @JExpedition07 that proved me wrong and taught me things several times. I learned. You have been around here a short time, and gotten in to it many times. I get you have experience, but sometimes the younger guys do know what they are talking about.

Maybe it just might be you that is wrong this time... [emoji848][emoji41]

This is at least the third time you've said you're done. When are you actually going to be done?
