Isn't 68style referring to highway mileage expressed in L/100km? Or am I missing something here?

That's based on average driving habits stored in the computer x what's left in your tank. It isn't real time calculation.

My 318i is geared way too short.

I think he's looking at idling RPM vs cruising RPM. In his highway pic, I kept looking for the L/100KM estimate but I don't think that is what's being compared...  | |

Ahhh I get it. I thought he was wondering how his milage was the same whether sitting at idle or going 100k.

Ohh no no my bad. I always use the range display. I didn’t put on the L/100km real time display.
I was just wondering how it’s possible to have the cars engine basically at idle when it’s going at 102km/h. The gearing is absolutely insane.
I did the real time display and it was showing 5L/100km when it was going on the highway.

I don't buy that explanation. Do we not get most of our gas from Alberta? We have pipelines operating. | I seem to think we get the majority of our gas from US refineries, a good chunk of the rest from Alberta, but I don't remember what the split is. The Burnaby refinery also do a bunch of green or green-ish gasoline refining from renewable sources, and supplies it to the Lower Mainland market. (Is that why our Chevron 94 gas is so crappy?)
But "majority" could be anywhere betewen 51% - 99%.

10 speed transmission is pretty amazing.

Kind of funny, for the last year or so I noticed that my F150 was getting inexplicably worse gas mileage by about 1L/100km. From ~16 when we first bought the truck to ~17 over the last year.
Then it dawned on me. Usually I swap the giant tow mirrors off for the stock mirrors after we put the trailer away for the winter... But last year I was lazy and didn't bother.
The wind resistance of the mirrors is literally eating 1L/100km!

These price spikes make me glad my year of GTI can use 87 and fuel economy stays the same. An 87 tune exists for more power, so I'm tempted to get that to compensate LOL.

I mean it makes sense, just never occurred to me it would be that significant.
