I just went through my first full tank on the new build, and I got 42mpg, about 75% freeway and no revving and a lot of 6th gear driving/coasting. Got 686miles off a tank of gas. Hope the calculation is correct.

i think this last fill up has been my best... normally get about 100mi. per 1/4 of a tank ... but i'm sitting at 1/2 a tank right now with 270miles on the trip

all highway driving (60-70mph) with exception of yesterday and today

v6 btw :roy:

best I've gotten was an average of 35-36 on the highway in traffic bouncing between 60-75mph. guess all that traffic drafting is what bumped it up

Mid 30s is best I've ever gotten all-highway. I mostly drive city (I'd say 80-90%) and I still get about 25mpg. I didn't see a noticeable difference with wheels (17s) or with drop (S Tech springs).

I'm planning a trip to Baton Rouge (about 2 hours one way, all interstate) some time in the near future, I'll give my report on that when i do it.

Prius gets 55+ pushing 60+ (my mom has one, and she's very directing on how to drive a prius)

Mine was 75% highway so it definitely contributed a lot. I think if I did pure city, I can probably get away with 35ish,
