Wow, you beat the diesels!

In mountains could be partially due to elevation changes ? :not_worthy:

I only had my 14 eco 6 speed manual for 22k miles, as I recall it seemed a bit more sensitive to speed than my diesel does on highway. If I drove 65 instead of 75 there was a big difference as I recall. There is a difference in the diesel as well but doesn't seem as much. Plus I got by on 87 octane and the car ran well for me.

My best 25-mile score is 62.8 MPG so far, this was on a trip from Plain City, OH to North Salem, IN and the flat lands up there... I also set my best 500- and 50-mile scores during that trip with the 500 at 47.7 MPG and the 50 at 58.3 MPG. But hand calculated I have always seen better MPG than the trip computer shows...

I would anticipate yours getting better with more miles. I lost my eco averages when they did my recall stuff, I was mid 60s for 25 prior to being reset, now it shows 3.2 or something insane, the computer got all confused while doing a manual regen with 3000 rpms sitting in place for I don't even know how long, weird to see a engine run that fast sitting hooked up to a laptop and in park. I don't drive fast on a regular basis, but I am guessing 3000 rpms steady must be 95 mph, guessing it was close to an hour doing that, I stood there for 10 min watching and no tech in sight.. I don't really know how it takes.

I find the tire pressure issue interesting. In summer time doesn't tire pressures go up with heat? I would guess one would have to monitor pressures to make sure you don't exceed max pressure?

I just run 38-40 and don't worry about it. When running factory pressures, I am normally monitoring to make sure I haven't lost too much pressure.
