    26mpg/11km/l is an achievement of sorts, but maybe 150km/h will do it. I got 42.8mpg/18km/l going 85mph(135km/h) for half a tank, but no climate control and on SE 17" wheels with just me and the girlfriend, no kids or luggage. If I stick to reasonable "over the speed limit" cruising speed, it'd def be in the 50s. Hope to do a 1000 mile trip soon, but will be leaving fully charged. Have to accept I didn't get this car for fuel economy, it just looks nice and gets me to play with EV bits without committing :)

    42.8 mpg going 85 mph is great fuel economy. The car was not tested out at that speed so you're doing well.
