Best mileage so far!

Recommended Posts

So far this is my best single trip mileage I have recorded 44.7 mpg. Most of those 36 miles is on the interstate at 65 mph as well. Keeps getting better and better as it breaks in! :shift: :dance:

That is just awesome! I Pick mine up on Friday, I hope to have at least 200 miles on BeeBee by the time I get home! :)

Awesome! You are going to love it. As you can see I have just over 1600 miles and i have only had it 2 weeks, I picked mine up on the evening of the 8th. My first tank I averaged over 37, second tank almost 39, third tank 40.2 and this tank I'm on currently is just over 38 (Playing Ingress has proven to not be the best MPG activity lol). I think I can achieve an average of 41-42 mpg per tank once it is completely broken in.

Close to 22000 miles on mine, routinely pulling 44+ around Houston even with highway driving. Can pull 38-39 with speeds in excess of 80 mph

That's awesome! This vehicle is truly an awesome car to drive in ,many ways! I will be taking a 3 hour drive to one of our campuses next week and I'm anxious to see how it does. I have to go over the mountains as well so it will be interesting to see the mileage.

So what formula do you suppose the trip computer is using to calculate the MPG? If you take "Total Distance" / "Fuel Used" (29.6/0.6) the result is 49.3. If you take "Total Distance" - "EV Miles" / "Fuel Used" (29.6-6.8/0.6) the result is 38.

 

I'm trying to take the data displayed and calculate to the 44.5MPG and I can't seem to get there. Am I missing something?

Not sure, but I know the Fuel use displayed only has one decimal place. The computer has a more precise number to do the math.

 

29.6 miles / 0.649 gallons = 45.60 MPG

29.6 miles / 0.650 gallons = 45.53 MPG

 

That's still 1 MPG off, but it's closer ...

I would say the car uses at least two decimal places for the gallons just as you can see on the trip 1 display. Now if you take 29.6 / 44.5 you get 0.665 gal which shoul be 0.7 on the display but I'm guessing it's not rounded and they just chose not to display 2 decimal places like they do on trip 1.

That makes sense too, I was going with .65 and .649 because I assumed they round up :) I guess they just leave off the additional digits.

Here is nice snap shot.

But to be fair that was thru the Zion National Park which we drove 100% in EV mode. Not too hard when it only goes down hill at max speed of 35 MPH.
