Isn't the 84 mpg claim doing 55 mph on a flat surface and on highway with no traffic or stop and go? City is like 49 mpg claim with all the lights and traffic, etc. So, at 75 mph, range may be a little less than that 672 miles, ey? If draft behind big rig or something, maybe more than 84 mpg at 75 mph?... I'm sure as soon as we begin taking delivery, the real world mpg stats will begin bubbling in and we'll know what everyone gets, ey?... Looking forward!
And 84 mpg is most surely with the A/C OFF, correct? Otherwise in the 70's at best I'd think? We'll see...

Not since 2007. They used to do two tests: city and highway. Now they do three more: High speed, A/C, and cold temp. These three are used to adjust the values of the city and highway tests.

The city test is up to 56 MPH with 23 stops. The highway test is up to 60 MPH. The high speed test is up to 80 MPH. The A/C test is with the A/C on at 95 degrees F. The cold test is at 20 degrees F.
