Yea... I know it was only 19 miles... but if I would have stayed on the highway, I don't think it would have dropped much. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have gone much higher either though. By the time I got off the freeway and drove downtown, and then went up to the 5th floor of my parking garage I was at 39.6mpg (25 miles total and 53mph average)

LILBENZ230

Yes.. for brief stints like that it can.

Twenty4Play

I wonder for what distance could maintain that MPG - maybe it's time for a roadtrip. ;-) Anyone ever test there MPG on a roadtrip?

LILBENZ230

Road trip fuel economy for me is 28-29. I can't keep it under 80 on the interstate.

jturkel

if i use my OBDII gauge to tell me my instantaneous MPG at that second, when i left off the gas at say 70mph, i will see 55 mpg for a second or two lol

Twenty4Play

LOL.. I'm sure you will. Nice sig pic btw, effn love it!

for small stints under like 30 miles if i keep my speed down i have gotten it up to 39.8 with my big v6. for long trips i have gotten 32 dead. that was about 900 miles but i have the same problem LILBENZ230 has when i am out of va. way to many cops in va to mantain 80+. the speed limit is 65 and traffic moves at like 70. so when i am in my white Mercedes maintaining 75 or so i am a good target. the second i see the va nc borer i gun it every time. lol not a good way to make friends on the road. once i got up to like 85 and then got off at the welcome center and some guy in a minivan who was behind me did a really aggressive maneuver to follow me off the highway. he flew into the spot next to me yelling and cussing so i got in my car and left. he tried to follow but his odyssey could not keep up on the ramp and i got away without even speeding. lol i think he was jealous he was in his 40's with a comb over driving a minivan. i fell bad for the guy i would die if i had to drive a minivan.

Nice! New official winner 45.9!?!?! for 30 miles? Impressive

benzito911

wow u were able to tell if its was a .9? cool...

LILBENZ230

You can't tell that says 45.9? It is slightly blurry but not so much so that the 45.9 isn't obvious.

BTW - were you going downhill or something? LOL

benzito911

kinda... trust me.. no way a benz can get over 40 without a lil down hill help.. and no traffic on a freeway.

on normal conditions i get up to 33 hwy and 27 on the streets...

Twenty4Play

Same here.. but I didnt have any large downward grades... just feather-footed the pedal the whole way. The reason I did it is because my dad picked me up from the airport in my car and I looked at the MPG, he was getting 35.4mpg over 54 miles traveled, none of which is downhill! It kinda irked me that my dad could get better gas mileage than I, in MY car!

skittles

what the?!

the most i got was 32mpg on the way to frisco.. my cars crazy i think...

XsuperbeeX

at least its better than a c320 did 26mpg on highway...

samaritrey

dam how fast do you drive. if i am not in traffic on a trip i can get 32 between va and fl. and i don't drive slow i average speeds of around 70-80+ depends what state.

LinDenKid

i get 26 on highway(driving like a grandma) , and about 16 in the city lol,.

samaritrey

what mods does your car have that sounds really low.

pawe

Find a downhill road, put the car in neutral and coast. boom, 40mpg reading in juts 5 mins of coasting.

XsuperbeeX

erm... min 75 + got a new exhaust even so it didnt make it drop but make my leg drop more...

jturkel

ok. honest to god. i found a pic in my phone of my car going 9 miles over a span of 10 minutes with an average speed of 52 mph and.......drum roll...........30.0 mpg. definitely on the highway. i can post the pic for the nonbelievers if so desired lol

TruTaing
