Funtimez Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is what I'm currently getting for mileage cruise control at 65 miles per hour for 56 miles. I'm curious what is the white line and why it keeps changing. But so far I have 621 miles to the tank with 1.2 gallons left over from fill up. Any one else getting similar results?

Da Roo Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I have a 2.5 and I consider my mpg to be good at 475-525 on a tank with fill up usually taking 16-17 gallons. Probably a 75/25 mix of highway/city. Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtdog Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The key for me is the MPG as the other kind of "pee" won't let me drive 600 miles without a stop anyway. I drive to DC from NH 4-6x/year to assist an elderly relative. Although I can't make the trip without a pee stop in NJ I don't gas up until I get to Elkton MD (cheapest gas on the trip) which is about 400 miles one way. I regularly get 31-33 mpg on my '16 with the 2.5. Most of the trip is spent at 70-75 mph with a stretch on the NJ Tpk often at 80-85, sometimes more. So, I am happy with the results.

crudzinskas Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The white line is the average mpg for the trip and the green bars are the average over that time interval ( It looked like you had yours set to 1 minute intervals). for an 18.5 gallon tank, getting 621 miles with 1.2 gallons left is about 36mpg which is definitely attainable for a long highway trip at 65mph especially in the summer time without many passengers/luggage etc. When going 65pmh for the occasional 250 mile trip I can normally get the car to say I'm averaging 40-41mpg and a real number (calculating from the gas pumped into the car) around 37-38pmg.

magnetman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I recently took a 500 mile trip from Oklahoma to Nebraska and back. On the way there, my computer said 42.1mpg but I actually only got 40.45mpg and made it there without any gas stops on ethanol free gas. On my return, I made 37.85mpg with computer saying 39.4mpg, again with ethanol free gas. It's mostly flat terrain with speeds between 55-75 mph.

Funtimez Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks for you inputs. Just trying to get a good idea of what I should be getting. I'm happy with the mileage I'm getting so far I just wanted to make make sure that it was typical for this vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citadel Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I find that watching the tach, keeping the max rpm at 2000 and letting the trans do the work results in my best mpg. Of course to get to higheay speeds you need a little more rpms but in everyday driving this works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go from 0-60ish MPH without going over 2k RPMs at all. It usually results in us averaging 29 - 31mpg per tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 keeping your foot out of the throttle is the biggest single thing you can do to get great mpgs....my mixed mileage in my 2014 is 30+ mpg... 2K on the tach is enough to get the car up to almost 70mph...albeit slowly..
