Can anybody tell me what MPG they get at constant speeds and
RPM on flat dry paved roads.

Thanks
Al

I guess that would depend on how fast you were going.

Yep, totally depends on speed, and whether or not it's one of that vehicle's "sweet spots"... I can usually max out my iMPG gauge at 37mph/1050rpm, and again at 47mph/1400rpm. But I can't for the life of me maintain anything around 43mph, and by the time I find the 53mph sweet spot around 1600rpm, the gauge is in what I guess to be the 80mpg range.

I tested mpg versus some highway speeds and use of AC here. Too busy during test to pay attention to CVT rpms....
