What did you do to your Type R today?

[RepyT]

Oh it definitely does. I personally wouldn’t mind a longer 6th gear for this exact reason. I rarely go above 70 now when on the expressway. ?

Between you, Kefi, FatherPain, Mr Tuck, I think you guys could design a 7th gear above Reverse (H-H).

Nice. Im at 352hp and make 30mpg not even complaining . But that 32 mpg is bragging rights lol

The drive modes don’t change the gear ratios. Something isn’t right there.

To me it seemed like it changed but then again I may have let up on the accelerator, but it looked like it remained constant.

Having it at cruise-control on long stretches will hold the speed well without any variations in RPMs. This may be a dumb question to ask but is the Type R equipped with adaptive cruise control? Just too lazy to look up the answer myself. I too was also getting around 30mpg during my drive out in the highway at 70mph with RPMs at 3K.

Mine is a 2019, cruise control memory standard. Basically doesn't keep a safe distance from the car in front of you but does return to set speed even on a up shift or down shift.

Finally found it...

Wasn't driving much with the pandemic/work from home. Even less with winter in full swing so I decided to hook up a battery tender. Only problem is like a jacka$$ I dropped a 10mm nut into the abyss from the battery hooking it up. Took me a couple of nights poking around with a magnet to finally find it. That was driving me...nuts

That's some nice fuel economy. Mine used to be around 28-30 regularly... But since COVID the majority of my drives have become short drives so fuel economy plummeted. Plus these temps I'm seeing are horrid for gas milage

Yes the cold has caused my mileage to drop. Warming her up in below freezing temps definitely drops the mpg's.
