She’s just sipping it. Especially good when you consider that’s cruising at 80-85.

That is impressive! I had similar results on a road trip recently, though a little lower than yours.



The "After Reset" includes a trip up to the North Georgia mountains for some spirited driving, and the bottom number is just interstate highway cruising.

I enjoy hearing that 2UR a little too much to get any decent milage. Im always right around 16mpg. On a recent road trip, I got 23mpg.

still beats the supercharged RC on ethanol, though.

I’m really only able to achieve this kind of mileage on my way to work. I’m not in a hurry to get there so I’m not as heavy on the loud pedal.
