Limp Mode Give You Better Gas Mileage ?

alexkho · 08-30-2018, 07:20 AM

I got in to limp mode on the highway ... and for 100 mile i have to drive in it
its getting 21-23 mile to gallon ?

Should have a switch to switch you to limp mode for highway driving ....

I mean, you could just slow down on the highway and it will do the same thing. When I was in limp mode I couldn't get the car to rev high enough to go faster than 45 mph. That will give you great mileage except for the whole mobile impediment thing.

The MPG readout in my car currently reads 21.3. That's just with normal driving. Though I tend to do about 80% highway driving in my car.

Yeah. We need more limp modes .

I got 27MPG driving across the country.

Silly.

You can get 21+mpg if you take it easy.

So you want a button in your car that will essentially cause a fault in the system?

hahahahahaha

wow....

I got about 25mpg driving to LA and back. that was more than good enough for me.

my daily commute unfortunately is all city, so 11mpg is the norm.

Lol. Might as well drive a 320d on eco.
