Once did a >200km trip on a completely empty battery. 98% highway at 130km/h (80mph).
Consumption was 12,5l/100km (+- 18mpg US) |
That is actually better than I expected. Maybe it is not so much worse than a 40i. |
My F15 xDrive 35i would get 27-29 mpg on long trips (19mpg around town) so I think the 40i should do similar. Shocking the 45e gets so low, comparatively. |
I think this is for 130 km/h on cruise control / constant speed on the highway. That could make a big difference. |
Maybe, I usually average 75-80mph cruising on the freeway. Depending on local speed limits, some here in TX are 85mph.
