Hello, I am wondering what numbers of fuel consumption that other amg gtr owners got. With sport plus, I got up to 30L/100km when at lower speeds. I am not sure if that's normal.
Lots of short trips?
How fast are you driving? Often > 250km/h?
Digital gas pedal? Heavy acceleration, heavy braking so more like a racetrack?
Then 30L/100km average are already possible.
Anything is possible from 8 - 40+ L/100 km. :-)
In normal traffic with an adapted driving style (no ECO competition) you should be around 12 - 15L / 100km.
Just to reinforce what Stenzel indicated, here's my mileage graph (Road Trip app) ... note that this is in imperial gallons (20% bigger than US gallons):
Can you tell which fill-ups were on track days? $;-)) On track-days I always run Chevron 94 octane and, if filling up otherwise, I normally run Shell 93 octane.
The highest mileage was 23.15 MPG on my recent return from Area 27 which consists of a significant portion of nice twisty mountain roads. I'd guess my average speed was >105 kph. My lowest mileage was 2.89 and 2.92 MPG for the first track day I did at Mission Raceway. I don't know why the mileage was that low on my first track day as subsequent days at Mission were the more normal 4.5-5 MPG range (which is also what I got with the C63 S). The exhaust system was replaced due to one of the flaps not operating properly, so maybe that had something to do with it.
It's also interesting to note that the C63 S got 27.86 MPG on it's "return home" run from Area 27, though it was likely at an average speed between 95-100 kph. I suspect that the gearing on the GTR reduces its highway mileage.
A 5:1 "dynamic ratio" WRT fuel mileage is pretty amazing and solely due to the efficiency of these engines and their computer control. If you're familiar with "muscle cars" from the 1960s, you can appreciate the strides made in ICE engineering. Of course, with the constant increases in the price of fuel, the overall fuel costs continue to rise. <sigh>
I hypermiled before and was able to get approx 26 mpg over about 20 mile distance mainly highway around 2am, that is including warm up and driving out of a car park from the 3rd floor.
I feel hypermiling after the car is warmed up you can probably get 30mpg max?
