Optimal speed/rpm for gas mileage in 2019 Type R?

[Noize]

I get 26mpg that I can set my watch by, and I don’t baby it at all. I guess it all depends on where you drive.

For the 1.5 turbo, this chart says that you should just get on the Interstate and drive 39 mph. Oh wait...

My best mileage ever (with an EX-T) was a little over 50mpg. It was a 100 mile trip on a warm day on a route without Interstates. Trip Odometer "B" has never been reset since the car was built, and it now shows 41.6 mpg and about 6000 miles.

I shift around 2800-3000 rpm and you can see the results

Nice... my RPM is rarely below 3k. I normally shift at 4 to 4.5k then I’m back to 3k and climbing...

Just feels and sounds like the engine is happiest in that range.. but I bet my gas mileage sucks heh.

Personal best MPG so far was 34.5 at around 55 mph~ in 5th/6th. This was a 3 hour trip there and back WITH stops(lights) and variations in driving, 170 miles.

This is the best mpg I am able to squeeze out of R. This is pure highway traveling at 75-80 mph @ 3-3.3k RPMs in sport mode. This is about 100 miles in from a full tank so it gets a more accurate estimation verses you just filled up and only drove a couple miles and then look at the cluster mpg reading. I also did a miles driven divided by gallons used and it’s around 1.5 miles lower then the cluster mpg reading.

That's pretty good. I'm betting you could yield better results in comfort mode.
