START/STOP Technology

[8pack-2]

I recently drove from Charlotte NC to Syracuse NY and got 29.1 mpg according to the gauge in the car. All highway miles in Eco Mode. I was impressed to say the least.

I’m averaging like 17.5, 60% of the time I’m in sport and 40% auto. Eco limits the engine to ~300hp, I believe. That’s pretty good fuel economy if you’re not itching to feel the power. Smiles per gallon tend to trump miles for me

I drove 100 miles on secondary roads and did not use Eco mode but showed 21.6mpg. Not bad as I was in some hills. Later RJD

Do you guys use cruise control much? In other cars, I've found that if I use that, I get tremendous mileage on any car.

I use it whenever I can. I like the feature that when ACC is enabled your car will automatically slow the car down when you approach a car in front of you that is slower. Later RJD

Part of my post-start routine is to shut that stupid thing off
