I continue to be impressed by this car!
With just a few mods in place (and no hybrid functions, remember!), I managed 2.5L / 100 km or 94 mpg US on a 293 km (182 mi.) round trip this weekend, where I was within +/- a couple of MPH of the posted limit of 80 km/h / 50 mph.
Mods: grille block, extra psi in the tires, passenger mirror deleted, driver's mirror folded back on the 2-lane highways, 3 wiper delete.
Main techniques used: DWL (driving with load), aiming to stay in lean burn at 100 MPG on the instant display on the highway at 50 mph / 80 km/h. Manual engine-off to most stops/turns, DRL used selectively (on in the city).
Admittedly, conditions were nearly perfect: mostly flat roads, dry, 20*C (cool enough to comfortably keep the windows up on the highway), little to no wind, light traffic outside of the city.
