Just returned from a 780 mile trip from Scotish Boarders to South Wales. Traffic on motorways heavy but moving all the way. Average speed including town and a forrest section ( track just wider than car) came in at 65.4 MPH. Used Eco Pro all the time recording 72 MPG as my blue bonus. Brim filled at start and end of trip put in 59.8L at end this is 13.154 imperial gallons (15.79 US) works out at 59.29 MPG UK, or 49.39 MPG US, car said 62 MPG.
On my way down I recorded a total range of 1001.2 miles as I entered Wales when I added the miles done to miles the car showed as remaining range. Even at the end of the journey having covered 780 miles it still showed 165 miles remaining or 945 total, my fuel fill up confirms this as not far out as a full 70L at 59.29MPG would give a range of 965 miles. On refill car said range 954 miles,
Shows what a long trip can do. Back to normal 8 mile up and down hill journey tomorrow and my normal 45MPG.
