I hereby propose a new topic for us to argue about: Whose car has the highest lifetime average RPM?
Obviously the higher the number = you are driving your car harder = you are a better Blackwing owner. This is not a thread for grandmas, hypermilers, or cars still in break-in.
To get your RPM data, go to the Maintenance section of your display, scroll to the bottom, and take a photo of the Engine Life data. To calculate your average lifetime RPM, perform the following math:
1. Subtract Idle Hours from Hours to get Driving Hours
2. Multiply Driving Hours by 60 to get Driving Minutes
3. Multiply Revs/10,000 by 10,000 to get Total Revs
4. Divide Total Revs by Driving Minutes to get your Lifetime Average RPM.
Here is mine as of last night (4BW Manual):
My example math:
1. 158.6 - 43.1 = 115.5 hours
2. 115.5 x 60 = 6,930 minutes
3. 1732 x 10,000 = 17,320,000 Total Revs
4. 17,320,000 / 6,930 = 2,499.3 RPM (4BW M)
Can anyone top that? My suspicion is that 5BWs will have lower numbers than 4s, and automatics will have much lower numbers than manuals. So we will split the categories into 5BW A, 5BW M, 4BW A, and 4BW M. Who will win each category? I suspect those who track their cars will have a distinct advantage as well.
