How to get 60 mpg on the interstate

[shurmanter]

Does it count as a real test though if it isn't in real conditions. Plus regardless how much attention you were paying there was probably 10 drivers not paying any at all. It is very dangerous to be driving that slow on an interstate. Depending on where you live can have speeds of 70 so the drivers are probably at least doing 75.

Massachusetts and most of New England has 65 as the max and some are actually 55

I just googled it but never driven through there. It states that they are either 65 or 70 mph on the interstate there.

I live in MA and can state unequivocally that 55 absolutely exists and I’ve never seen 70, but it could in the western part of the state. I495 is 65. Mass pike is 65 until you get closer to Boston when it turns 55.

This was for test purposes. Was in the right (non-hammer) lane and paying attention to everything around me (as always). Don’t judge me.

I’m curious if you can achieve 60 mpg’s in heavy interstate or hi-way traffic. It’s fairly easy to get into electric mode.

Tested at 60 mpg. Must be in ECO mode. Crest the hill. Let power drop to about 8%. Blip the cruise. Control.

Good thing this guy is from Kentucky according to his signature and not MA

Absolutely. Was just responding to your initial “depending on where you live…”.

Don't ever post anything if that is the case.

All I said is that driving 60 on the highway "CAN" get you rear ended. The reason is all the crazies driving 80+ who are not paying attention. Also how close were those 4 cars folloing behind you? Many drivers will almost tailgate on the highway behind slower drivers. That can cause an accident.

Try areas of toll road near Tesla plant east of Austin with speed limit of 85 where they drive 90+. 60 is wreck waiting to happen.

Nope, same here in Western MA. Mostly 65 on the main interstates and 55 on some of the beltways. I've only seen 70 when you start getting out to the Midwest like Ohio and Indiana.
