Just because I was bored...

1995 Tahoe w/31" tires

650.58 tire revolutions per mile.



and I have a 3.73 rear end...

so thats

2426.673895

revolutions of the rear driveshaft per mile.

I have 215,000 miles on my tahoe.

thats 521734887.5 revolutions. (about, right)

so; ESTIMATING always driving in 3rd gear (1:1) (Makes the math easy) (and city driving) 1,2,3, + 4th

that means that my 14 year old engine has turned over

(OVER, with idle + traffic, etc)

521,734,887 times...

so thats 1/2 million revolutions

is my math close enough?

I got the idea from Top Gear, Cap't slow said some old car came with an engine revolution counter....

I think my 1/2 million revs is conservative considering 1st and 2nd gear, and idle...

 

"521,734,887 times...

so thats 1/2 million revolutions "

Don't know about your math but the above is one-half billion revs.

 

you are correct! I was tired... 1/2 billion is a lot of revs! go 1995 chevy! lol

 

Interesting. You must have been really bored
