If I drive 55 (big if) I can get 16mpg but that's babying it.
500 miles doesn't show much but half a tank driving normal I'm getting 13 and that's country roads so a little stop and go.I can live with that,it's way to hard to baby this thing even telling my self I'm break it in .

City I get less than 10 but that's because in Atlanta you get every damn light 20 yards down.

Highway I get probably over 16 but I baby it at 65 and sometimes I like to get wild and hit 75.

8k km on mine. 27l/100km city 22 highway.
I like to rip it all the time so that's why. My normal freeway speed is 150/160kmph

4k miles on the clock, typically average low to mid 14's on every day driving to/from work.

Just made a 350+ mile trip from NJ to NH and got 15.5 mpg the entire way up doing 75 majority of the time.

It does make a considerable difference drafting behind a big rig. You don't even need to be up their ***, just a couple car lengths back and the mileage goes up a good amount. Few weeks ago went down the turnpike and the whole hour drive behind a big rig and averaged 17.3 at 70+ mph.

Go too far back and all the wind off the truck just pushes on you.

But I did it before. 21mpg going 70 towing a 5000lb trailer!
