Re: Comparing MPG with 11 Elantra with 08 Honda Civic
At 65 mph I'm around 2200 rpm.
I filled up last night for the first time (avg 34.5 mpg) reset the computer and made a 25 mile interstate run. 46.9 mpg!!

I reset it at the gas station. I had to go thru 2 red lights before I reentered the interstate so my avg mph on the computer was 58. I did drive fairly conservatively (60-65 mph), but at times I did 75-80 and this was on a hilly stretch of I-70 between Washington, PA and Wheeling, WV. Temp was almost 70 degrees, so that probably helped. |

Re: Comparing MPG with 11 Elantra with 08 Honda Civic
Okay, while the cruise might have been set at 80mph, my average mph was much lower-
San Diego to Vegas-70
Vegas to St george-65
St George to Salt Lake City-65
St George to Vegas-68
Vegas to San Diego-66

I seem to average about 10mph less than what my cruise control is set to.. probably too many pit stops for snacks. |

Welcome to CleanMPG bryantest... and those numbers you quoted are MPH, not MPG... 
It'd be pretty sweet if they were MPG!
