(now that i think about it need more tips would've been a better name for the thread) so i am still experimenting in automation and using tips from my other question (why were my cars so fast) i tried to make a midrange family sedan, using the huge body that comes out in 1995 in the game, it costs around 9200 in the game (using the multiply by 2 trick i always use it would then retail for $18,400)using a modest inline 6 engine that costs about $1000 (is that modest for a inline 6 engine?) that makes 176 horsepower, but my issue is, it's a land yacht, that gets 40 MPG, and on top of that, 150 MPH top speed, i obviously needs more tips, just sorry for being such a dumb noob at the game, just, how do i improve

Uh... where is your problem?
I suggest giving more input like the car stats, engine stats, gearing and more... A huge car does not have to be thristy.

to add to that you might want to chuck in the car files so people can look at it more in depth

i will after my laptop finishes, and it's main problem is it just doesn't seem right from more of the "better" people here, it's just off.

On that note: lots of car manufacturers come up with ludicrous consumption figures that clearly do not hold water in real world conditions. My Civic has a claimed urban consumption that would clearly not simulate Melbourne peak hour traffic (and yet highway figures are perfectly accurate). The method used here would provide some info on mixed consumption, as far as I can tell, but really the real range of practical figures, I'm not so sure.

To quote myself from your previous thread.

For some reason the Cd of that body is .18, which is very low.


This will also result in the car having very good economy.
