60MPG in SoCal

ACORNBLUES · 11-26-2007, 04:52 PM

I am beginning to understand where that <2008 EPA 60mpg local # comes from. The normally 3hr RT took 4hr but net 5% increase in MPG. Some stop and go traffic, no drafting.

WooHoo! Great job! Can you share some of the specifics that were different for this trip compared to other trips?

Wow, 60 mpg? That's impressive!

Over Thanksgiving the MFD reported 48.5 mpg over ~240 miles to/from LA/SD. But we were doing 75-80 the whole way, so I am really happy with the mileage. Got stuck in a bit of traffic each way and mileage jumped over 75 mpg for those 5 minute segments.
