I feel that I drive like a grandma and don't seem to get anywhere near that.

I never have ever averaged more than 26 before rims and sound system. I average 21.5 mpgs with a 50/50 mx of highway city driving.

You must have pushed reset when you began your trip back down from "Mt Everest", put it in neutral and just let her roll home!

LOL on roll from Everest comment!!!

The first picture is from 22miles trip in town presssing reset on my driveway and taking the picture in the parking lot at work. Driving and accerlating softly without upsetting people behind me.

Second picture is on the way back using the highway ~25miles mostely highway on CC between 68-74mph with couple of heavy traffic spots.

Pictures is better than 1000 words, I am not making this up

That's tops! I have been doing a lot of around town driving in the 25 mph range and think of the 600 every time

i would be gliding electrically for a good portion of the time, and could probably get to work without having to use hardly any gas! (2 miles to work 25-35mph speed limit)

Last autumn, Norwegian vallies and mountain roads..average 87km/h...(speedlimit max. 80 km/h) ...roughly 54 mph after stop for refulelling
7.8 l/100 Km = 30.16 MPG

The trip: Stavangert to Kristiansund - 877 km one way (545 Miles)
over 4 mointain plateues over 1000 meter high and under 3 fjord tunnels (deepest 223 meter under the sea and 5875 meters long)...8 % elevation:
0.86 l/km = 27,35 mpgs

on the return...even better:

0,82 l/km = 28,68 mpgs

No Highway..only along fjords, over mountains and along vallies on normal narrow Norwegian roads

Always driving a bit over the speed limits....

Did the same trip 2 weeks ago (July 2014).....

and again 2 months ago (April 2015) ... but due to storm in the mountains .. the long way around southern Norway (same result)

0,80 l/km = 29,4 mpgs

That's some nice MPGs in an LS.

I hate you.

peteybabes

in a 600?? i'm surprised at your city number which historically has been much better with the hybrid.

CJITTY

Exactly my thoughts. I'm calling the BS flag on this. My best city is 20 with regular speed limit driving. I was only getting 22.5 mpg on my road trip from Atlanta to Tampa yesterday but I was going 85 to 90mph with AC blasting lol. I can get these numbers easily with the reset button on my 600

How do you get to this history screen again?
