Warm idle, and walk around to give a better sense of volume; includes a car driving by on the road next to me.
Its nice that I can hear exhaust over the clickity-clackity DI engine.

so thats why she is so noisy,mine averaged 35 mpg yesterday on a slightly lower altitude run with reasonable throttle and no jack rabbit starts( didn't use eco either,don't like it)

At this stage, I'm not sure we can compare 2025 2.0L vs <2025s. Let alone 7 speed Lobo trans vs 8 speed.
I'm sorta curious how the final drive ratio compares in top gear, but rarely am I in 7th.

I drive the Lobo like its a 'hot pickup', a hot hatch equivalent of a pickup. I don't expect to see 30+ mpg regularly. but will be happy if/when I do for a long distance highway run. I'll have one coming up soon, and be curious to see how it goes.
But it will be through high elevation (11,000 ft+) and some tight, twisty, switch back roads for a portion of it..And it will probably get the Lobo-mode treatment.

turbo good at high elevation! Standard final drive ratio is 3.63 I believe the lightweight wheels and new all season tires help mine to cruise easily,the computer sneaked up to 36 mpg on the way home after I inverdantly topped it off with non ethanol; gas( less than 1/2 a tank) all thats arbitrary until 4 gals runs it over after a couple hour trip,the fuel mileage is one I really like on this vehicle( hate the seats though) at times its close to double the mileage my Nissan VQ averaged.
