I have less than 1000km on the ODO but I find my MPG increasing as the milage on the car is increasing.
Just enjoying the ride,
I've filled up 3 times already But I fill up at half tank not at near empty.

(25-02-2012 03:37am)martinPL Wrote: some 75% highway, 15% slower rural roads, and 10% city
average speed - 44 mph (smooth and easy accelerations)
most highway driving is in Dynamic mode
average fuel consumption - 23.4 mpg
The above numbers are after putting 900 miles on the RRE (averaged over last 700 miles)
.......
An update
2,500 miles on the clock
averaged the following during the last 300 miles:
- driving conditions as above with one exception - I keep it under 80 mph as at higher speeds the mpg goes dramatically down
- speed: 48 mph
- fuel: 24.5 mpg

So far, 700 miles on the car. 60% city / 40% highway. Average fuel consumption about 21mpg.

2012 RRE Pure Plus - approx 10,500 miles. Owned it for just over 10 months. The best I ever got was a lengthy highway trip - about 150 miles of all highway. Averaged 25.9 mpg. A little disappointing. I avg between 22.1 & 24.2 mpg w/approx 65% highway and 35% city road.

Best I could do is about 22 mixed driving now with close to 18,000 miles. My trip to LA I got 25.6, but the way back I got 29.1. I've developed a ping when I am cruising then need to accelerate to quickly to over take someone. It's only done that since the last service bulletin for flashing the ECM

Per on-board trip computer: 27.8 MPG
Per manual tracking: 27.6 MPG
Greater than 80% of my miles are surface street. The majority of miles are in "D" with automatic shifting. Use Cruise Control almost all the time. Drive at speed limit + 5MPH most of the time, and at the speed limit in school zones and residential areas. Live in the Pacific NW where AC is needed <50% of miles. "Auto" and "AC" HVAC modes not used the rest of the time.
Love to use manual shifting in Sport and Dynamic modes, but only do so when the circumstances allow me to really have fun doing so. "Wow, you got to this red light waaay before anyone else" doesn't do much for me any more
Mileage transitions from MPG to GPM as soon as stationary idling begins, so the single biggest positive impact may come from Auto Stop-Start. I had a defective battery which was replaced under warranty, but Auto Stop-Start quit working for the ~1,500 miles preceding replacement. During that time my MPG fell from 28.2 to 27.4. Since battery replacement my average has slowly climbed back to the 27.8 it is today.
Took a 2,465 mile road trip crossing the Rockies twice last August. Freeway speed limits of 70 MPH in Oregon and 80MPH in Idaho and Montana. ~120 miles in various AWD modes, and 200 miles on dirt and gravel roads to fly fish Silver Creek, the Big Hole, Beaverhead, the Missouri, and Rock Creek. Averaged 30.2 MPG until reaching the Columbia River Gorge for the last 80 miles of the return leg where 25MPH headwinds reduced the trip average to 28.7MPG.
Next week I'll take delivery of my High Camp Teardrop trailer (~1600lbs) and it will be interesting to see how towing it a couple thousand miles each summer affects MPG. (https://www.highcamptrailers.com/)
I have no idea why my average is so much higher than others that have posted. Must have gotten a lucky build with an exceptionally tight engine or something. Anyway, I am very pleased with my Evoque's fuel economy. It's the first vehicle I've ever owned that performed better than the EPA estimate!
