Anyone compare MPG?

tcw495 · 10-24-2018, 10:30 AM

Just wondering if anyone has compared the MPG/KPG difference between driving in all comfort/eco settings vs. all sport+ settings.

You mean Smiles Per Galon ?

In all conditions , 12l/100km shows on my dashboard.

When in sport or sport+ , it goes up very quickly.

skyjunky · 10-24-2018, 10:59 PM

In MDM+, sports AWD, everything in sports+ on a track 5.8 MPG.

(about 200+ miles at Laguna Seca.)

Around town, commuting to work etc. in comfort settings about 16 MPG

Most of my driving is "out of town" so 26 MPG is my average (over 3400 miles UK) and I do get the boot down when ever safe to do so, this is such an economical car, impressive.

NASTY-M5 · 10-25-2018, 07:45 AM

Mines showing between 12 and 15 L/100km.

Very happy about the highway cruising returns.

That's 8.3 L/100km. That's really good for a twin turbo V8

What's that app called, FuelUp? That looks kinda cool, I'd like to start tracking fuel like that.

Seems tedious and easily forgotten about if you have to enter mileage and gallons purchased each time you fill up.

Fuelly... very quick and easy once you get rolling with it.

Advice... always fill up anytime you get fuel...once pump shuts off, don't grab the handle to add more.

I have been using it for years, maybe 8 different cars now. It's neat to look back and compare MPG/Prices.

Not really... what else are you doing while the car is being fueled? It seriously takes 10 seconds.

That was my thought....I'm usually just standing at the pump twiddling my thumbs until the tank is full anyway.

Why not? Just curious- is this so you consistently add the same amount of fuel each fill-up?

Same for me. 5.8 MPG for track weekend at Watkins Glen.

Avg around town is ~18.
Highway in efficient gets me almost 28mpg.

You set it in the settings.

I used to have it at 50/50. Then with this car, I got more lazy.

Put your car "in"... you'll see the options.

If you ya e already done that. Press the "i" in right corner... then press "edit".

marcvtec · 10-25-2018, 04:04 PM

I average about 500KM per tank.

Oh so it doesn't actually track the percentages? I just tell the app (based on my best guess) what percentage is city vs. highway?
