I drove from columbus to Cleveland last week on a single tank and my lost range miles for 120 miles trip up was only 13 lol. One of the reasons I bought this thing was the cruisablity! Coming from driving basically nothing over 13 my whole life ?Nobody ever believes me when I tell them I legit get 35mpg on the highway. I've supercruised reasonable distances at nearly 50mpg when I'm not in a hurry.
All the V8 guys are like "bro I get 12" and ask for pics. Makes me chuckle.
B58 is quite the engine to give us 35mpg but also 1000HP potential.
I have the same issue in my Emira, so what I’ve been doing is lowering the drive mode (Touring) and then throwing it in 6th and just cruising with low power gains. Keeps the miles high and gas longevity. Still can’t come close to the Supra though. 315 miles per take vs 215 miles per tank on the Emira.I wish my MT had a longer 6th or final drive. It’s sits pretty high at highway speeds. The benefit to that 8 speed is that 80mph 2K rpm cruise.
Having owned both, yeah, the MT sits sooo much higher on the highway, 1000+ RPM difference. It's part of the overall "high-strung" character of the MT car, which I happen to love.I had no idea the auto could get that mpg!

Totally understand why they call it "miles per gallon" now!Miles ÷ gallons of gas = MPG
