60 MPG is good going, it’s pretty much what I get from mine. 80 is not realistic, it’s the windless, 90 seconds to get to 40 MPH test to compare cars together figure. In reality, outside of hypermiling techniques there’s not an awful lot that’ll get it over 65 real world. 70 is possible, but my god it’s dull. I tend to get between 58 and 63 MPG out of mine depending on weather conditions and driving route. Remember winter diesel is coming soon so the MPG will take a nose dive shortly
