TYPE R MPG CHALLENGE !!!

[wildbilly32]

imo this needs to be computed at the end of a tank at the pump, otherwise the results are moot. Personally the computer in mine is around 2 mpg higher than actual.

Honda marketing folks handywork...

You're doing it wrong lol. Hit the skinny pedal on the right!

In all seriousness, that's pretty good

OH ! The one on the RIGHT ???
Trust me, I know what 161 mph in this car feels like haha (took about 3 miles....)

Since new. All in town except for @100 miles. I keep trying to drive that number lower!

Two days apart 10 months ago. Was really working for mileage.

Here's my best complete-tank distance so far. Still had 2 gallons left. It was a real struggle, letting prius's and moving trucks pass me ugghhhh......

I'm guessing these are all highway miles? The majority of my driving is city and I'm average 24 miles/gallon. My range on a full tank is about 250 miles. I'm still in the suggested break in period with about 450 miles on the odometer. Haven't really good into boost and shifting around 3000-3500k, rarely go past 4k rpm for now.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong? What are your guy's tips or driving methods?

My tip is don't worry about mpg's and enjoy the car instead.

Dunno...I've never checked.

So does driving in comfort mode actually give better MPG? This is a serious question because I've never driven through a full tank in comfort mode. I can't get myself to do it, the car feels neutered.

It probably would just as a function of the throttle response being reduced. Also, why would you push the car in comfort mode...so you'd be saving gas as a by-product. But I don't believe that comfort mode = better MPG. It's just happenstance.

Ha, ive done the milage lots. The cars mpg computer is highly inaccurate. I do mine the old way . Fill tank drive till empty. Fill again do the math. Everytime the cars computer is off by 4 to 6 mpg. Matter of fact you can go to different screens in the menus and it will tell you wildly different mpgs. Here are the 4 different mpgs from the 4 screens taken at same time... i have found this cars average is around 28 mpg

You just don't understand what the computer is showing you, that's all.

First image is your long term total MPG.

Second image shows the current "Trip A" average MPG at the top of the screen. The next 3 numbers are your previous "Trip A" average MPGs (they show up after you reset your trip counter).

Third image matches the "Trip A" average MPG from the second image - 27.9MPG.

Fourth image shows you general car info - the city and highway ratings of the car - 24.0 MPG city and 28.0 MPG highway.
