2016 3.6 V6 Best MPG - Long Term
Best 25, 50 or even couple hundred mile averages can be heavily influenced by downhill road conditions and or favorable tailwinds. I once averaged 83 mpg for 38 miles in a Nissan Altima rental car going mostly downhill out of the mountains into Denver on I-70! I attached pictures of my long term averages to see if anyone else has averaged 33.6 or better mpg for over 10000 miles?? (including break in miles) or 33.9 or better for 7870 miles??? This is a manual six speed car with 3.6 V6. Around town I have found taking off in 2nd gear , skipping every other gear (2,4,6) and coasting up to lights gives the best mpg. My driving for the 10000 miles above is approximately 20 percent stop and go city, 65 percent 2 lane highways at 60-70+ , and 15 percent 75-80 mph highway (longest one way trip highway approx 200 miles). And yes, I do occasionally let the hammer down passing on two lanes and merging onto freeways (and my best 0-60 on the in car timer is 4.9 seconds on a 65 degree, low humidity day with a high traction surface to launch on).... Also, nothing but 87 octane fuel for all the miles above. Anyone have any long term averages close to this???

Twice a year I go visit my parents which I have to cross the rocky mountains to do. There are several long downhill grades that I try and coast down and use as little gas as possible to try and beat my best. The weird 31mile average is because it's a Canadian vehicle so it's normally averages of 50km.
