    None of these devices are legit! Blinking lights, all fake! Think about it. These websites claim plug and play across all vehicle types — impossible!

    I don't think its that good. I can believe 24 mpg at those speeds with the front air dam on. I suppose if you inflated all the factory tires to 40 psi.... maybe.

    I actually see mid 20's at 70-75 MPH on the highway. I believe slow as you go then steady as she goes is the key.

    Well OK- the pic above was taken after a partial fill up at the top of a really long 6% downhill freeway grade :burp:

    I don't go by the dash unless its on long trips. I had my air dam off for a month...best i calculated was a shade over 22 mpg at speeds under 60 mph.

    I've only owned my 2019 Sport since the middle of last week but the tank average economy has remained between 24 and 25 through 2 fill ups. It's a manual trans and I tend to coast on downhills so I'm sure that's most of it. My little 2007 chevrolet cobalt is averaging 46mpg by its dash this week. On that car it's just using enough throttle to crest a hill then coasting and conserving momentum on downhills and level ground.
