    I managed a 66 MPG run over ~15 miles and briefly felt clever, then noticed the eco diary shows the previous owner doing ~60 MPG over 1,500 miles. That was a good reality check. Still learning.

    Congrats!! That’s a fantastic number.

    Yes I think it’s possible. I did that in May 2025. The car is 10 years old and has the 17” wheels as well on WRG4 tyres. 3.3L/100km =71.28 mpg.
