My daily drive to work is through the city on non-congested roads. This is 3000km/year (1865mi). But I drive another 20.000km/year (12427mi) on the motorway (max 120-130kph (75-80mph)) which refers to a total average consumption of 5,5l/100km (42mpg).
When I drive on the motorway a steady 120kph on cruise control, my car uses exactly 5,0l/100km (47mpg).
Reducing that to 100kph (62mph) reduces the fuel consumption to a very acceptable 4,1-4,5l/100km (57-52mpg). Without using any hypermiling-techniques!
