Got a new ride… what do you think?

How do you all get such high MPG? I average 49 even though I drive super gentle… usually keep it under 65 on the highway and ease into speed. Most of my trips are highway too

What year is your car?

When I was in the Bay Area, I never got anywhere near what I’m getting now since I moved to DMV

Wish I could post my commute pic from today. 26.6 miles, used cruise control at 62 the whole way. Only about 2 miles in the city. Got 51.9 MPG but I was hoping for better. I drive so slow that people probably think my car’s broken. Bay Area driver here too

When I drove from Santa Monica to the Bay, I stayed on cruise at 72 the whole way. Highest I got was 54 MPG, but once I reached the Bay I started pressing the pedal harder and dropped to 52 by the time I arrived

I drove from Nashville to Richmond, VA recently. I wasn’t holding back and still got 46 MPG

Yeah, that checks out. I notice the same drop when I push it harder too
