~50 MPH on the highway with the engine fully warmed up is the sweet spot for most cars. I see instantaneous MPG in the 30s and 40s as well in those conditions, as long as I'm not facing a big headwind. Of course, I also see instantaneous MPGs in the hundreds when coasting down a hill, so it's important not to get too excited about momentary figures.  |
I understand it's by the whole tank. I'm talking about trip average, though. Not the instant 'MPG' you see on the gauge, but the 'AVG'.
I'll report back on Wednesday with my tank findings. I'm hoping for somewhere in the 30's.
