Was not really looking to max fuel milage just get good numbers for the speed I try to maintain.
Some of the run groups 5 or so cars can get real fast, like you can see a digit on the HUD you don't normally ever see for a few miles at a clip. There might be occasions you are hitting passing gear at 85MPH to get around traffic.
Car needs very quick response to any change when its at speed, braking or turning. Felt ECO took the turbos out of action somewhat as acceleration was very spongy.
What you need to think about my average MPH is there a 4 miles of city traffic to the interstate & the beach roads are 35mph with heavy enforcement maybe 8/9 miles.
