MPG with cruise control

[{WBK}Viper]

I just drove 600 miles with the cruise control on and got about 25mpg at an average speedof 75 mph. 3.5se

Does that seem kinda low?

[ShiftTab]

well it supposed to be 19/27

but I think that's only if we abide by normal speed limits...

[dldjros69]

75 is kinda fast. i think 55 to 60 is the optimum mpg range.

Id say 25 is pretty good.

[vonivo]

i usually get 25.5 at 85-86mph

[mikegtr06]

on my 2.5 i got an average of 35mpg on a 1400 mile road trip including stops.

[dldjros69]

35 mpg wow, i think the best i got was 32 mpg.

That was highway driving. I really havent taken the coupe on a road trip. The farthest i went was about 90 miles.

[mikegtr06]

i was cruising the speed limit like 65 the whole time and i have an intake and exhaust if that helps.

I travel 28 miles one way to work every freakin' morning and I use a Scanguage to help me monitor my driving and MPG. On the highway, doing 70mph, cruise set, I'm averaging anywhere between 27 - 32 mph...depending on air moisture I may get more or less.

I got like 31 mpg going from NJ to SC in the summer going 75-80 on I-95...

hhmm I get about 30 when i'm cruising at that speed . . . make sure you're not looking at your AVERAGE MPG because thats gona be closer to 20-24 for driving normally in a 3.5 (not aggressively)

also. . . if you were going on a long uphill or something like that it coulda screwed ya over

IDK i just installed my STS and my MPG went from 24 to 17 ROFL

Oh, I'm not a downer. I don't know bout you guys... but seeing the same cr@p talked about over and over again is annoying. I haven't even been on this forum a year (Joined May '08) and I've prolly seen 4 threads on MPG for this car already. Each with 4+ pages. What's the point......

Same goes for multiple Car Color Choice Polls, Age Polls, Male/Female Polls, etc. How many of those have we seen?

ROFL you're serious? A repost every 3 months and you feel the need to say something?? I could see if we had multiple repeat threads on page one . . . or even within the first 3 pages for that matter.

There are constantly new members joining who have not experienced or seen these polls/threads, and they usually turn into general light hearted discussion. Isn't that kind of what these forums are for?

either way, if you dont want to read it, just dont click it

[BlackNWhite]

At least it's not an HID thread.

[Rob.Vegan]

Oh btw, Daniel where did you get your HID's. I'm looking to get some pretty soon ???

just kidding. Kind of
