Best fuel economy you've hit on highway?

kyrix1st · 11-14-2018, 03:27 AM

When I am on highway, I usually tend to go all out or drive really slow (i.e. warming up cold engine and getting other drivers mad). Best I've got from e92 is around 14km/L, about 4% throttle, 80~100km/h in 6th gear.

What are yours?

Best I got driving like a grandma was 8.9L/100KM on the highway.

I don't really watch my mpg unless it's taken a steep decline

wfdeacon88 · 11-14-2018, 10:03 AM

My commute everyday is 23 miles one-way (x2), with ~19 miles each way on the highway. Some spirited highway/city driving included. I have been tracking total average MPG for almost 3 months now without resetting and I am averaging 19 MPG on the dot, which includes weekend driving around the city. I would estimate I am close to 20 MPG highway, with more upside if I drove right at the speed limit religiously and held back the throttle. No clue what the "best" MPG could be... probably upper twenties?

BayE30 · 11-14-2018, 10:06 AM

long distance my best average was 23mpg. Cruising 80mph.

burtonsbs5114 · 11-14-2018, 10:42 AM

I would say I get low 20s mpg on the highway.

Megabrode · 11-14-2018, 11:02 AM

23.5 Tampa/Miami/Tampa, posted speed limit all the way.

Actually went via FL Turnpike. Might have made better MPG via AA, assuming non-Autobahn speeds.

E92 M3/ESS VT1 Supercharger... best is ~20MPG combined

Gbiz · 11-14-2018, 02:46 PM

I've made it to 25+MPG and 330 miles+ on a tank before. It's a rare occasion though. On average, 20MPG and 275 miles per tank. I'm also 6MT.

DRLane · 11-14-2018, 02:53 PM

Mostly 17 mpg around town, but on a spirited drive up through Colorado mtns from Boulder to Aspen and back. Averaged 24 mpg even climbing some of the passes on US 70 at 90-100mph. Made it just shy of 300 miles with a quarter tank remaining before filling up.

6MT

SVH · 11-14-2018, 02:55 PM

About 23 to 24 mpg, driving out west, average speed 75 mph. Logged the milage. Dash indicator read 28.5 !!!

STooK · 11-14-2018, 03:10 PM

When I drove mine up from FL to NY, I think the best I’ve seen all highway was only about 22-23 doing 75-80 so not too bad.

Well I do the exact same thing, people don't understand...

94jedi · 11-14-2018, 11:49 PM

20-23mpg as long as it's flat land.

Haha - But it's true

sibhusz06 · 11-16-2018, 12:39 AM

Reset and averaged 21.5mpg from Atlanta to DC as displayed on instrument cluster. Did about 70-80 whole way back.

kyrix1st · 11-16-2018, 03:48 AM

Interesting how I seem to have the best fuel economy so far. Maybe it has to do with shell V-power being 98+ RON in Japan?

It's not boring when it's empty and you're driving alone, at a comfortable 100+. I often drive it to get from ft Lauderdale to my parents in Cape Coral. I average about 18/19mpg going 90-100. And for those who don't know, 85-90 is about average cruising speed at the time of day I drive it.
