Mileage Report, VERY HAPPY...

JimFerraro · 03-13-2006, 06:12 AM

Drove from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale, all over south Fl, then back to Orlando.

80% of driving was highway. Our speed on the way down was almost a constant 100 MPH for 150-200 miles, then slowed down to 85.
When we got there we drove around town all day Saturday, on the throttle quite a bit to weave in and out of traffic.

On the way home, we went 90+ MPH for almost the entire 230 mile trip back.

I'm familiar with mileage testing, and got a true hand calculated 29.4 MPG!

Thats kickass for some fairly aggressive driving!

The sixth gear really helps with the fuel economy. On the whole, the performance/economy balance is very good, now if only it didn't idle like a diesel...
