My first all highway trip
I gotta try just for the hell of it heh, see what kinda MPGs i get.
When you start from a stop do you crawl aswell?
50mph is just ridiculous tho.. I dont drive fast...65mph. I was on track for 40mpg but ended up not being able to check because my gf filled up the tank.. I DONT HYPERMILE.. I DONT P&G... DONT TURN MY CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING... DONT DRIVE SUPER SLOW. I Just set cruise control at 65 and go.
I constantly get around 33-37 depending on how mych hwy/fwy I drive during the week.
did I mention that was in my boosted fit.
That seems way to low for those speeds. I have done alot of trips on my fit. Like CA to FL/FL to OK, back to Tampa FL. I average at least 36 more around the 41-43 mpg. My last tank was all city driving and it was 41.8MPG and my fit has 8,500 miles on her right now. The lowest MPG i have got yet was around 33-35MPG.

I can understand where when you drive 60-65 MPH, you gas mileage is great. I was following a friend on Wednesday and at least half the time, we were going 60-65 MPH, and my ScanGauge went into at least the mid-30s on average. I have a X-gauge set up that keeps track of the average MPG on that drive (unless the engine is off for a very short period of time, then when I start it up, it does not reset).
Even with that said, on my last road trip, even going 70-75 MPH in places and in some hilly areas, I achieved an average of 36-38 MPG with an AT the whole trip.
I probably won't be doing another road trip like that until Thanksgiving, but can't wait to see what it does then. It should be cooler weather by then, and I have that short ram intake under the hood. In the cool mornings, I do notice a power difference. We'll see what happens with a highway drive on a cool morning.
