Personal best MPG / fuel economy

[Miragebrat]

I bought my 2015 Mirage De spring of 2018. I consistently get 38 in city and 42-44 on hwy. Speed limits around here run 65/70 mph.

Managed to pull 43mpg on the highway this past weekend, 120km/h and A/C on with two adults and one adult worth of equipment and luggage onboard.

Not personal best, but personal worst:


But, it's still pretty good when you consider that it was including ~10min of driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic going no faster than 3mph (sorry, clutch ), idling for about an hour for the AC (it was 90F today and I was doing some work in the car, I tried cycling the engine on and off a bit to save fuel but 30s after I shut it off it started getting warm again), and going uphill at 55mph and having to brake on my way downhill because somebody was turning at the bottom of the hill, all while full-blasting AC. Still a lot better than the Santa Fe, which'd get at best 20mpg if I tried really hard under normal conditions.

This reminds me: if Loren sees this, out of curiosity, I'm wondering what kind of mpg you get while autocrossing? I'm willing to bet around 20mpg.

lowest, 25.23. about 10 fills in the 20's, and i'm measuring off the odo w/ stock tire dimensions. highest is 49.97. average 38.022. i'm not looking forward to tracking all this with different size tires.
