    Interestingly the mirage gauge is not optimistic but pessimistic! I constantly get about 5-6% more than what it reads.

    It varies up to almost 9% at times!

    The only time it actually read less was when I fueled up with petronas but the difference was only 1% less.

    You can check my fuel log. It has almost complete data.

    That's very interesting - you're the second person to report that the factory gauge is pessimistic. Clark mentioned it as well here:

    Mine curved down as well but it's no biggies though. Acts as an umbrella in the rain keeps my rear window clean haha ...
    Numbers are about right but my mirage's very badly broken in so it's crappy. I drove it highways with cruise control on 100 km/h all the time so it's hardly broken in.

    m4v3r1ck, once your car has some more distance on it, would you consider doing some runs to make a similar chart to compare the results of the 1.0?

    Does yours have cruise control?

    Lol mine ran 1750 km already in less than 2 weeks. it's easier to make an 80 - 100 - 120 runs than lower speed here in NL. I will try though.
    Yes I cannot live without cruise control so I had mine equipped, cost me 550 euro or US $732.38 to install it and cost me the same for the class 3 alarm. This car makes me broke lol but I'm having fun with it

    Update: a US website has posted speed vs. fuel economy results for the CVT. I've added a new graph to the first post, with a disclaimer.

    i will be taking a long roadtrip during MLK weekend (jan 17-21) to las vegas and then Seattle on presidents day (FEB 14-17) i'll make sure to update you guys on what mpg i am getting then. i don't have a scangauge (yet?) so i will be going off what the cars readout says and using my phone for GPS speed.

    I was hoping to see steady state highway cruise numbers compared. At 90km/hr or 55mpg, same stretch of road, there are less variables to contend with than city driving
