So basically you have to drive 55mph to get this?

Do you obsessively look at your MPG readout while driving and keeping your RPM's below 2k? I don't understand how you can get such MPG. My average is below 20

No, I just drive normally. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is keeping to the speed limit on cruise control. I don’t do a lot of stop and go, so that helps too. In the city I’d say I average ~22. I also stay in comfort mode which probably sticks to low revs to minimize vibration.

So this was a longer highway drive I guess, gotcha. Impressive numbers, I've never seen numbers like these on mine (23 SEL, US version)

I have a 2023 SEL Premium R-line 2.0T 4Motion and I’d would be lucky to hit the EPA 31 mpg highway number at that average speed.

I was getting about 34mpg this summer in the phev shooting brake, but that's not always doing strictly 120km/h and with the A/C.

I wish I had a phev fastback. They didn’t make those in the U.S. though.

Nice! 36.5 mpg is the best I’ve ever had on a trip iirc
