I just returned home from a 2k mile round-trip road-trip from my home near Detroit to Steeda in Valdosta, GA in my 2018 GT. The only mods prior to leaving are a new aFe Pro-S dry replacement air filter and my lighter than stock wheels/tires. When I left the car had less than 2k miles on the odo.
I-75 is basically flat from Detroit down through Ohio and into Kentucky and Tennessee where you start to run into some rolling hills and then it flattens out again in Georgia.
I drove very conservatively at only 2 - 3 mph over the speed limits which were mostly 70 mph and I used cruise control the majority of the time.
My mileage was calculated using Fuelly versus going off the cars computer which I found to be a touch optimistic.
I left home without a full tank and my first fill-up was in Perrysburg, OH and I kept track of the trip mileage from that point on:
1) 29.0 mg
2) 27.9 mpg
3) 25.6 mpg
4) 26.3 mg
5) 28.0 mpg
6) 28.3 mpg
Metro Atlanta traffic screwed me on the way down and on the way back so that's where it fell off into the 25's and 26's. But overall I'm extremely pleased with the numbers!
