Diesel hypermileing
Relocated to the DC area this weekend. Drove the X fully loaded from Omaha. Filled up in Iowa City, IA and drove to Wheeling, WV on one tank. Cruise was set 5 above the limit all the way. Made 5 or 6 stops or so for food, bathroom breaks, and an overnight.
665 miles
avg speed - 68.something
30.5 mpg on the OBC 30 on the dot by my calculations.
Still had 30 or so miles till empty but didnt want to push it not knowing the area. Hoped to get 700 and send a picture to BMW. Probably could have done it if I had gone a little slower. The 20+ mph tailwind helped.
Anyone ever beat that?
