Now it's usually - or rather always - on the optimistic side as well.
Up to almost 10% optimistic.
In mpg terms, that can mean an indicated 65 MPG, for an actual 59 MPG ... |
Thanks, that might explain it then because until recently I was shifting into neutral when going downhill and I have a lot of hills on my commute. I recently read that it might be better to keep it in gear and coast since it won't use any fuel at all while coasting in gear so I'm trying that so see how it compares.
