Did my first long drive in my RCF yesterday when going to a SCCA regional race in W Virginia. Some 225 miles round trip with mostly expressway driving. For a car that produces almost 500hp I was pleasantly pleased with its fuel economy. It could have been a little better but my enthusiasm after the race with a few full throttle blasts put a small crimp in it

I agree, I've been pleasantly surprised myself. I'm getting the same results driving ~80 between Destin to Atlanta and down to Tampa/Orlando. I've neve used Economy Mode, I just leave it normal for the highway. I have a lot of driving coming up this week so maybe I'll see what Economy can do.

It's ok, I'm happy to lose this battle, and not surprisingly either since the big NA engine should be thirstier than the small FI competitors.

It would have scored much better if the parameters were even.
They put the M4 in economy mode but had the rc f in normal mode, obviously not apples to apples on the capabilities then

Yep, I have gotten around 26.6 on several longer trips in Economy mode. My problem is the lack of self control, followed by the occasional Sport + blast on bits of open road here and there. Otherwise, I would Imagine around 28.X also.

After 3,000 miles, here's a couple thing I noticed. The computer can say you average 17mpg for that specific tank but when I did it the old fashion way, it is always .5 to .7 less. Actual mpg coule probably be 16.4 mpg.
Worst tank: 14 mpg
Best tank: 17mpg
Average 16mpg
Fill up every 3-4 days.

I'm at 11.1. Been a few weeks since I reset it. I find it impossible to get anything higher than 18 or 19 even with mixed highway/city driving.
On road trips I still only get low 20's.
