I honestly attempted to drive it like a normal car and even took it on the expressway everyday pushing it over 75 and then going in to the first lanes when I wasnt rushing.
I filled up after reaching a half tank and got 51.0 MPG on the dash and about 53.3 calculated from the gasoline receipt. Tires came in already inflated at around 40psi and I used A/C when needed.
Pretty impressive or just lucky???  |
How many miles were on the vehicle when you took delivery? Did you take into account the total miles on the vehicle or just the miles after you took delivery? The dealer would have filled up the tank just before you took delivery, but they may not have reset the trip odometer. Another thing that could cause an error is a difference in fillups. The dealer could have topped off and you may have stopped at the first click. Both of these scenarios would inflate your mpg for a tank.
Anyway, if you continue to get good fuel economy after several tanks, good for you.
