According to my computer my best milage occurs at 50 to 60 mph (low rpms on the top gear) Best is usually 30-35 mpg
If I use a less exciting driving style than the car begs for in the city mileage is often near that of the open road.
When travelling at above the posted limit speed my fuel consumption increases proportionately even though the trip computer will read a decent mpg on certain sections of what seems to be flat road (I assune that there is a slight grade though helping things out)
my average milage with a more spirited driving style drops to about 5-8 mpg compared to granny style driving.
