Prompted by the thread about the Type R range...
Before I put the R away for winter, for one tank I drove really easy to see just what was the best mileage I could attain. Very easy on the throttle; timing stoplights; anything to get mileage. This was daily commuting and errands; some hills, some level ground, some freeway but mostly surface roads; probably never over 65 mph, no “spirited” driving. Theses are not the stock tires, but an all season (Nitto Neo Gen 245/30R 20) so I could drive the R in colder temps without worrying about warming up the tires.
I calculated 43.51 mpg--5.749 gallons of 91 non-oxygenated gasoline at the station I use most often, and 249.8 miles. As you can see, the car computer calculated a little less.
Granted, this is not my normal mileage, but it shows what *can* be attained.
