Went to Los Angeles and back today. It kept the car between 65-70 most of the way. Drafted SUVs when I could and got 33 mpg!
A new all time best for my CL. This car still rox after 4 years.

 

Wow... that's fantastic... Is your CL fully stock?

The best I've been able to get was 30 MPG with the cruise control set at 70. I wasn't doing any drafting though. Also my car is a fully modded CLS 6sp (including a S/C).

Who would have ever thought that our cars with as much power as they have could get this kind of gas mileage.

 

It's an 01 cls w/h&i. Wanna trade cars?

 

nope...

 

damn thats amazing...

 

awsome! I got about 30mpg on Hwy 395 from Lake Tahoe to Los Angeles. That is over 400 miles on my trip meter, without the low fuel light coming on. I have an auto with intake and headers and my girlfriend was driving. I don't think I could have achieved that kind of mileage because I have a heavy foot.

 

it was tough keeping it between 65-70. The car just cruises at 80.

 

Damn that highway driving.

I got 19mpg last week. :o

 

i was at 18.2 last week with 95% of that city driving.

 

Yea, she was cruising between 60-70mph. Hmmm...maybe she was doing some drafting while I was asleep.

 

i make about 300-320 miles a gallon so i'm doing about 16-17mpg.... damn and gas is over $2.30 per gallon right now. i have to fill up every 4-5 days with all the places i go from day to day

 

I think you are getting at least 20-22 mpg, if you got 300-320 miles to a tank.

 

i though i got 32 mpg yesterday,but then i realized i put $5 in b4 i filled it the day b4 so it was really like 26.

 

I used to make 19 mpg, with just 80+ mph driving on the highway.

I did change my driving habits due to traffic, and last week I posted 385 miles a tank. A record - Almost 26 mpg.

I guess driving around 65 mph did the trick

 

Just went up to RI this weekend (about 180 miles each way)... averaged 29 mpg cruising between 75-85 the whole way.....

Now if I could only get that kind of MPG Mon.-Fri. while commuting to and from work where I normally average between 22-24 driving about 75-80.

 

My Valentine 1 lowered my gas mileage

 

Hmmm... I thought Valentine 1 increase mileage. Those beeping keep me cruising within the speed limit.

 

good job mike.

I got 34.6mpg from San Diego to San Jose with cruise control at 75mph when I had my CLS...now, I'm happy when I get 24mpg.

 

i get 22-23 mpg around town and 29-32mpg on trips. 2001 type- s.

 

I wouldn't mind 24 mpg if I had your car

I've always heard that using cruise control would decrease your mileage?

 

Nice! You tied my best tank. Exactly 33.0 also. I still average 30 week in and out driving about 70-75 mostly hiway.

 

in order to achieve such high mpg, do you drive with you A/C OFF? I usually keep mine off, but turn it on weekly to keep it in condition-

 

a/c was off the entire trip. good tip about using it during the winter though.

 

i havent got better then 20 mpg...

 

 

i'ma gut my car and run on 16inch rims just so you can stop posting about mileage

 

Just got 17.2 MPG :o
