MPG Challenge
Can someone best my 28.3 mpg for 52.1 miles? Most of it was at around 73mph during the drive from Raleigh-Durham Airport to Greensboro, NC. It should be beaten rather easily.

Is that downhill in neutral???? haha....I average about 16 around town...sometimes a bit less. On highway, I've seen about 25 or 26 on flat roads about 70 mph. You've done well!!

That's really quite easy to accomplish. I've had 28.8mpg on mine pretty often.
Especially when you just reset it to zero, and start cruising on the highway, you'll easily get a much higher number.
However, I refuse to believe the onboard computer, my own manual calculations from refilling intervals makes more sense, at 24-25mpg.

When I bought the car, I drove it from Detroit to NYC and got 27 on that trip. But I was pretty nervous so I didn't speed or play around.
I do mostly city driving and get in the high teens. But I'll be driving to CT next week - I'll take you up on your challange!

My "other" car is a Suburban, so the P-car gets like 50 "comparative" mpg easy in my book.. that count?
actually I dont want to know or even check the p-car I am so damn happy comparatively speaking so I opt to put the $8.59/gal 101 octane trick racing fuel in to help keep the two on the same field price wise...
Holy Cow!! There is NO way that sh*t is worth that kind of money!!! TAKE IT BACK!! OH sorry

darn that's pretty good... All these cars are fairly modded but the RS gets about 24-25 cruising... the TT about 28-ish and the Cayman about 23.

Trip of 4,000 miles to Vegas and Tempe. Average speed overall was 82 mph. Normal cruise speed of 91 mph. Got as high as 27.8 mpg during one 370 mile stretch. Lowest was 23.5 going from Denver to Grand Junction. (What a ****ty drive that is) Average for the entire 4,000 miles was a little more than 25.6 mpg. This is the same, if not slightly better than previous trip BEFORE I installed the Supercharger. Believe it or not, my highest avarege was on 90 octane gas.
This was actually calculated mileage.
