I have to disagree somewhat...at least using my car as the measurement. Using Torque to see my instant MPG, at that speed under constant throttle at 70mph my MPG varies from mid 20s to upper 20s. No way I'd average at least 30. Maybe more like upper 20s is what I'd expect. On a trip on a highway where the speed limit varied from 55 - 65 I did get 29 mpg average once so I know good mileage can certainly be achieved.

If the contant speed on a flat surface was 60 - 65mph I'd say 30 could be reached, but not 30 at 70mph.

Just my .02. If you car does that Mike...well then you've got something great going on!


ROFLMFAO.........you should know better than to disagree even if somewhat with me...............MR statistics, spreadsheets and numbers..............

Here are my numbers straight from my spreedsheet.....................

Enjoy..................
