Active cruise control?
90% of my driving is to and from work. Most of that is highway, but if you know Denver traffic, I-25 is a parking lot. I set my trip computer shortly after I purchased the car and have not reset it in over 13,000 miles.
Averaging 31.7mpg on a 200 mile highway trip @ 65 mph (5 over the speed limit here). This is a 17 though. Mods in sig.
Don't you love it when somebody decides what everybody else should be thinking? It's important to me that the car gets decent mpg when I choose to go out for a cruise.
I agree my friend. It's doesn't have to be great, but decent is nice if you're on a 5K road trip.
I pretty much do the same thing and my lifetime average is at 16.5 mpg. I'm usually between 70-73 on the freeway though. Doesn't help that there's usually a ton of traffic either.
That would start with Ford. I reset the mpg once I set the cruise. Did not touch the gas or brakes for 19 miles. 34.7. I will gladly film the entire 19 mile one way trip at 60 mph if you wish. I’m simply reporting what the computer was showing.
That’s really deceptive considering you took out the entire speed up process. What truly matters is “lifetime” mpg.
I agree but the question was hwy mpg so my sample is as much pure hwy mpg you can get. Not at all a realistic reflection of normal daily driving or even a road trip. Just what the car can do cruising on the hwy which was the ops question.
I've had the same experience 2016 GT convertible. My calculated mpg's are always 1 to 1.5 mpg less than what the computer says I'm getting. Sometimes a little better and sometimes a little worse. I filled up this afternoon with the computer saying 22.5 and my calculations came up with 20.8. I have yet to take the car on a pure freeway trip yet. I'm hoping to do that late July into August so we'll see how it works out.
