I've been through 10 tanks now with my 2014 AWD Touring and I'm getting satisfying numbers: https://www.fuelly.com/driver/maxwax/cx5
However, I want better. I think the three strikes against me are:
* Driving at 5000 feet altitude in Colorado. I think I'm losing engine efficiency compared to sea-levelers.
* Driving fast (75-80 MPH) on Colorado's I-25 where the legal limit is 75MPH. I wonder if others are doing 60-70, just enough difference in speed to show some MPG gain.
* Using the AC in the hot summer while doing the above. Can't imagine this helps fuel economy, right?
Anyway, if you're tracking your fuel efficiency with something other than the onboard computer and getting impressive numbers would you share and compare your experience to mine?
Thanks!
