My 2011 Fiesta did 434.3 miles on 8.223 gallons. 52.82 MPG at speeds from 50 to just over 70 MPH. No one was stuck behind me, even coasting downhill in a 70 MPH zone on I64 east coming home today. Even including a 4 mile crawl to Ocean City that took close to 40 minutes, numerous stops at antique shops all along the way. With a drafting partner on the Interstate, even with just Morons blasting past me at 80 helping break the wind, I still managed to get from 52.1 to 52.8 when I coasted off at my exit.
No engine off, just neutral coasting at every opportunity, even some AC use when it got really muggy and 90+.
And that is with an automatic transmission, or an automated manual 6 speed if you wish.
The Fiesta has a 49 MPG last 3 tank average. It's closing on 20k miles where it will get it's 3rd oil change. Not a single other repair or maintenance in over 16k miles.
Not one single car stuck behind me in the whole tank.
Not one other driver pissed off at my driving.
And it is recycled (the car).
