  • engine hours to mileage

    Posted by Calvin on March 24, 2021 at 1:34 pm

    Is there a generally accepted formula for converting engine hours to appx. mileage? My ECM does not give me mileage – only engine hours.

    Thanks for any help.

    This is not accurate because it is for my car, and also because you may drive faster or slower.

    My average speed is 40 MPH and that is as measured over a long time period in the family car. I can get that information from my Corvette because it is available through the display but when I am in that car my average speed is pretty high.

    Don’t I wish. I am so poor I have to drive a car with 2 seats because I cannot afford one with 4.

    Jon is the only person I have ever known to drive a Z06 all the way to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from Knoxville TN and never exceeded 60 MPH.

    It is to get the dues money to the bank as quick as possible so Tom can’t get any.

    I have a car that has 6 seats im willing to trade for the 2 seater. I’ll take the hit for you. That way I can catch up on my dues.

    Buddy is making that up. I drove 10 over the speed limit the entire 4500 miles with a great amount of the distance near 90 and my cheap two seat economy car averaged 75 MPH for the entire trip and was at 24 MPG.

    I was racing to see if I could get the dues Tom promised before he changed his mind.

    Didn’t make it.

    The industry standard is 50 miles per hour . It is probably lower for motorhomes, due to a lot of idling.

    We all know the real reason he was in Parumph with that fancy Vette. I put aside the dues money in case of bail, but since it wasn’t needed, I had to buy something.

    Harry: It can really vary depending on so many factors. How fast is it driven (59mph or 72mph)? Interstate out west? or in the east? Lots of two lane roads? Did the drivers let it idle quite a bit to run the OTR A/C when sitting?

    I think if you used 40 to 50, you’ll be in good shape.
