23 is my best, driving to a track event

jaehshim · 01-24-2013, 08:13 PM

that's pretty good
the best i got on a 650 mile journey (70mph avg) was 22~23mpg.

Yeah i suppose a 1:1 ratio doesn't qualify..heck the MT 6th gear is .87:1 which could qualify as an OD gear..go figure

But the DCT rear end gearing combined with the 7th 1:1 gear allows the engine to rotate slower while the tires spin faster. "Overdrive" is just a label anyways
