@Amphibulus, I'm very impressed in your mileage. Would like to know more details on how you are accomplishing these results.

First, most of my mileage is highway (I would say 75%). It's not hard, stick to 100km/h and you will get great fuel economy.

I have not increased my tire presure, nor that I do pulse and glide (well, I try to stay electric if it's possible and appropriate, but I'm not going crazy with it). I think some person try to hard to beat the system while in fact it's already made to be really efficient the way it is.

I guess the biggest difference between 36mpg and 45mpg is the speed. I'm going slower then before on the highway (100km/h vs 118km/h) and slower in town as well (more in the 50-60km/h range while before it was 60km/h to 70km/h).

@Amphibulus, if I drove 62mph (100 kph) on Texas highways I would get run over. Most of our speed limits are 65 to 75mph. On some stretches of road the limits are 80 and 85 moh.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad you able to achieve those results.

Did a road trip yesterday of few hundred km, lot of hills and I was going at 107kph on the highway. I got an average of 44mpg. Impressive for such a big car. (No pulse an glide, no EV mode, ECO mode only, acceleration staying in the eco range most of the time when possible).
