55 mpg so after 95 miles it was 57mpg I beat my goal then when we got home the final mpg was 59.9 WOW I am so impressed with this car I was happy to get out of the 53 average and was shooting for only 55mpg what a shock has 6200 miles I guess it's broke in now. I hope this will be my best tank last pic is of the fuel gauge only used 2 pips!!! [attachmentid=8401] [attachmentid=8397] [attachmentid=8394] [attachmentid=8395] [attachmentid=8396]
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(priussoris @ May 28 2007, 06:42 PM) [snapback]451153[/snapback]</div> Great mileage. I am trying to get there myself. What were the specs for the trip? Here are a few questions. Speed? Tire pressure? Terrain? Cruise yes or no? Warp Stealth? Neutral on downhills? EBH? Stops? How many? Park or off? Side Mirrors folded? Any low drag devices? Anythingy else you did that may help your MPG? Thanks
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bestmapman @ May 28 2007, 05:38 PM) [snapback]451188[/snapback]</div> Thanks, to answer your questions: Speed- 51mph Posted speed limit was 55 and 60 tire pressure 40/38 terrain nice rolling hills on state route highway 19 Cruise yes warp stealth yes at times neutral I never put the car in nuetral I do feather the pedal and thats it even when on cruise if downhill and starts to regen i press the gas slightly to have electric motor come on. ebh- have it but not installed yet waiting for the EBH master (FireEngineer) We stopped twice and put in park and turned off then headed on the road again any low drag devices - two people and a dog plus cargo anything else to help mpg I did- not really I was totally surprised , just watched when I started to go down a hill not to let the regen process go just feathered gas pedal to have electric motor come on or even at times I had dead banded while going down hill at 55 mph. so speed at 51 mph seemd to be all it took plus the rolling hills but the trip back I got good mpg too
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(priussoris @ May 29 2007, 07:43 AM) [snapback]451389[/snapback]</div> So it looks like 51 MPH was the ticket. Any trouble with traffic at that speed? 2 lane or 4 lane road?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bestmapman @ May 29 2007, 06:05 PM) [snapback]451739[/snapback]</div> It was a 2 lane and traffic was very very light the ones that wanted to pass did and the others just stayed behind us. oh and the A/C was on for most of the trip in the afternoon. I am going back down south again I am going to do 55 mph and no more or less it does seem that the 50's do much better.
