Okay, we did a little 90 mile round trip today. (For the past couple of days since re-fueling the car had short-tripped here, and the MPG was reading 27.) After running 75mph on the interstate to our destination the mpg was reading a little under 26. On the return trip we took a secondary highway at mostly 70mph, with some areas a little slower. Just as we got back into town here, the mpg was exactly 30. To be fair, there was a slight wind, somewhat head-wind, maybe 5mph going over. When returning it was about the same, or less, maybe a little true tail-wind, but mostly on our right rear corner.
So, that was my "on the road report" for today.
Even though we are completely satisfied with our little 1.5T here around town, I think I personally would suggest something different for any substantial amount of travelling at freeway speeds. I am definitely of the opinion that at 75mph our 1.5T is having to work too far outside of its efficiency range.
Today I was wondering if you had made your selection yet?
And something I always have to remind myself is this:
1. I am not "married to a car." (although I admit there are times it can feel like it,,,,)
2. If there is something about it I really don't want to live with, then a change can be made. (-or it could be said like this, "heck I was car shopping when I found this one, and I'll bet there are still plenty of others out there somewhere.)
So whatever you decide, I hope you find a sweet deal on it, and that it serves you well.
(BTW, ours is a 2019 LS model,1.5T, with selectable AWD, running 99% of the time in FWD only)
