I've always gotten good mpg's. Before I deleted it looks like I usually got 25-27, and a 28.6 on highway at 73ish.

Here' my fuelly page. I log everything. I deleted on 3/17, so you're welcome to look at my records of mpg's before and after.

On my 70% highway commute, I seem to average 29-30. I very regularly cart my drift car around, and 50 miles of towing 6k lbs will bring that 30 mpg down to 27.5 pretty quickly depending on how aggressively I'm pulling.

When trying, I can get 31. The highest I have recorded is 31.41. That was doing 72mph on cruise 90% of the time, and included a TRIP INTO AND OUT OF NYC! I have no doubt if I truly tried, kept it at 65-70, and do a full tank of highway, I could get 32+.

Towing the places I do unfortuately means a lot of hilly, curvy back roads, or hilly interstates, so I seem to average 18-20mpg while towing where I go. I'm hoping to do a 2000 mile round trip Nj to wisconsin, towing the drift car, later in the year. I'm hoping I can get 22+ mpg keeping it to 70mph.
