I averaged 20 on the trip out to Sturgis last summer. Those were all highway miles.

I got about 4.75 MPG this weekend. On track at VIR. Down to about 4 for the sessions without traffic....

Obviously your not realizing the full potential....
Step it up a bit

I've seen 20mpg+ on a nice 1.5 hr highway drive.

Around town I average between 13-14mpg.

RobZL1 · 06-27-2019, 12:28 PM

I'm always right around 16.5 to 17.0 to and from work (mostly 45-55 mph with a few stops, slow downs, etc.)

I'm currently getting 17.5 L / 100 km, which is 13.44 MPG. I'm daily driving mine to work and back and the route consists of highway and lots of stop-and-go, bumper to bumper traffic due to constant traffic jams where I live.

When I go on a vacation or drive longer distances, I get 12 L / 100 km, that is 19.6 MPG. My record lowest fuel consumption was 11.8 L / 100 km or 19.93 MPG.

You must have been hypermiling with no flooring the gas pedal at any point, because I was hypermiling mine and only managed 19.93 MPG over the distance of 165.63 miles (266.5 km). Were you cruising real easy?

I think we need an entire dedicated thread just for venting about significant others bitching about our driving style while riding with us in the car.

Average MPH?

I just did part of that drive last weekend towards Toronto. The falls were amazing right?!

On average, traffic was moving about 65-75mph (took my wife's 2017 jeep GC v6). Gas would have killed me in the Camaro going that fast.

I only hit 18 mpg if I go <= 60mph give or take.

Just set the cruise and let her go. Did the speed limit plus whatever wouldn't get you pulled over.

Same here - I usually cruise 7 to 8 MPH above the posted speed limit. I was never concerned about MPG. Especially since there was a $2,600 Gas Guzzler Tax on the MSRP.......

Set the cruise to 75 and averaged 18 mpg

700 ish whp, e85, tr6060, mostly WOT digs and highway pulls, 10mpg. Seems good to me

Shodown · 07-06-2019, 09:16 AM

Meh, I didn’t buy it for MPGs. I have a daily driver for that lol.

However, it is quite impressive that cars today can have 600-700 HP and still get north of 20 MPG.
