93 octange. 36psi front 38psi rear. Only me in the car. Very little luggage. Some hypermileing techniques (especially in the 36mpg one). Hankook Ventus V12's. This is a pretty typical site for me. I ussualy dont snap them as often, but I have some more 34mpg runs. Usually get much more 33mpg runs (during 99% highway runs). Its also from florida, so im not coasting down a giant mountain.

 

you're on the highway and you reset the MID.
anyone can do that.

 

^
wrong. it changed to that after being around 25-29mpg and stayed like that for a few seconds

 

Please explain why there is 0 miles traveled and the total time traveled is 0.

 

in other words, its moar impressive if the distance traveled and time traveled are greater than 0.

like I said, any one can achieve 35+mpg's by reseting the MID mid flight, on a highway, going a constant speed.

 

it started glitching out. it stayed on 0 for a while

 

I'll show you glitching out:
you live in bakersfield, ca?
and you drive on the west side freeway?

 

Actual calculated MPG > *

The MID is very very accurate when you give it time. Still, nothing is better than calculated mileage based on miles traveled and gas consumed. A quick snapshot/sample doesn't prove much.

 

what? no...

 

Shot from this AM on the way to work...115k... I usually get about 30mpg for 7k (reset it when I rotate tires/oil)

 

^Constant, take notes....Now thats impressive.

 

What does this thread tell us?

People who drive primarily highway miles utilizing rational driving speeds will achieve higher MPGs.

Oh, and the sky is blue.

 

It also tells us these cars are the prius' of the semi luxury full sized sport sedans.

PS...I once reset when coasting to a stop on the highway and mine said MPG>99. Something in my pants moved a little...but then I realized it was BS.

 

You popped a turtlehead of bull feces? What the hell are you eating?

 

Leave it to you to take my quip and take it even deeper into the abyss. Love that I can count on you.

and it was bacon

 

if you guys want the screen to read higher remember to coast to all stops in neutral. it'll have samples of 100 mpg thrown in.

when i do that my car says i avg ~27 mpg with a ~24 mph avg. around town.

 

 

baah you guys are kids LOL....

anyway my contribution:

from kansas to STL



just a highway reset:



and 500 miles in 1 tank

 

This thread also shows that a lot of people like snapping photos of their gauge.

I can say I get an extra 10mpg or so after gas hit $4 again

 

 

He can post pictures very quickly after he hits his reset button. That's what!

 

I want over 30...am I going to have to go buy someone's friggin 17's?

 

You actually want to coast IN GEAR so the ECM will shut off the injectors (RPM >950). If you go to neutral and the RPM drops below 950, the injectors go back on:

 

Very impressive. I usually end up with an average of 31 when I do a lot of highway driving, but I tend to keep it around 70mph. What speed do you usually drive to average 34 mpg across 1000 miles of driving?

 

the sky's not actually blue. it's every color but blue

 

 

guys getting 34/35 mpg for less than 20 miles is not worth posting....also when you get 30+ mpg over 200 miles, now you can brag....

and thanks nfnsquared....thats why i never dump my tranny into N when driving....(i used to but not anymore )

 

Double overdrive is giving him those numbers.

 

a couple weeks ago (running 87octane) with it all being very flat terrain...i typically avg around 33mpg hwy, but this day i decided not to use the 'cruise button'

 

I took my tl to Tennessee last summer and averaged 34 mpg with an average speed of 73 the entire trip. I only had to fill up once on the way down and that was after 400+ miles, but it only took 12.8 gallons. Typically get 26-27 while driving around town too

 

This should be about normal, shouldn't it? Even my well-driven '04 gets 30-31 mpg regularly on trips from Dallas to Houston and back. I used to be able to get 32-33 mpg on that trip.

 

yes, but that is 'infinite mpg" and the computer doesn't calculate that since it can not put a number on it. which is why i said it causes the "gauge" to read higher. that is why there will always be discrepancies with the gauge reading and the hard math version people do themselves.

to continue with pictures, does anyone have any around town snaps? this is how mine is sitting currently


if you notice the time, you'll see the car has spent a lot of time idling, since the numbers don't match up very well. if i make a conscious effort to remove all that, it reads 27 mpg.

 

umm yeah, on my trip...65mph was to slow.....
the MID read a low number..

 

Them's was fightin' words.

 

^was, is the key word..
i fail, and you're king.

 

 

lol flow of traffic was 80mph.
65mph seeeeeeemed verrry slow on my four hour trip.

 

This is best case highway MPG but I could only do it for an hour. The total trip was about 150 miles and after speeding up I was still at 37 MPG but for the first hour...

I thought cruise was better on gas, please explain

 

^ Yeah I don't get it.

@sddale: good job sir!! Maintaining ~60mph for an hour is hard... the car just wants to go faster than that!
