WTCrap!!! 31.1 MPG!!!!
So I took my ct on her first all highway Houston - Dallas drive and noticed a HUGE drop in MPG. Is this normal? 80 mph and on cruise control, I averaged 31 mpg!!! Anyone else had similar experiences?
No mods except a injen intake...
Help~~

going from san diego to vegas @80 mph (cruise control all the way) I avg'd 36-37 mpg
this past weekend I did 70 mph in cruise control and avg'd 44 mpg going from sd to la (the bumper to bumper la traffic earned Lot of ev mode time)

Dang...
Thx for the replies...that does make sense that its only using the gas engine but still I felt that 31 was too low. I guess for those who's getting 36mpg at 70mph does not have an intake ?? 5-6 mpg difference between non intake and injen...hmm I'm thinking I may go back to stock.
I am driving back later today and will set cruise at 70 and see...
Thx!
Man I was thinkin...byebrid for a sec =)

Yes most def ac was on. This is Texas! Driving w/o Ac is impossible=)
***Update 3/26 - 49MPG!!! Just touched down in Htown and redemption! Ac was on and almost no cruise control. Averaged 70-75 mph but keep my foot on the gas and "felt" the pedal...meaning I didn't try to go above the power line mostly. Only engaged when getting onto the freeway or passing. At the finish 49mpg. Guess I'm still learning my hybrid...what a great feeling though. Also keeping the injen I like that vroom sometimes.

leave the intake on..during the drive were there any hills u had to climb?
but def the 80 mph+ and ac on is giving you your results still better than most cars
last summer here in seattle i had the ac on and driving 70 mph and i had a sig drop from 44mpg down to 35 mpg..so expect it

Also I noticed that leaving the display mode on the diagram where it shows when the gas engine vs electric is engaged helped. I used to leave it on the mpg display but leaving it on the 2 diff engine diagrams gave me a better mental/foot image ~~ weird i know but it works! I now get around 48.8 overall.
Its fun to step out and challenge myself to get the most mpg. Its nice to fill up in Texas at 3.59/gal = 32 bucks and still hit 425+miles on a full tank of gas...onward:
cool:

I have now had my CT200h Fsport for 2 weeks, and filled up for first time today, a lovely $37!! I came from a 2013 Jeep Rubicon that was $84 to fill and go 290 miles.
Anyway, I am still learning the hybrid on the highway also.....what's the best place to be while on the highway for speed or the gauge on left where power is............I avg 40.1 on first tank.
Thanks!
