The highway figures there are: DCT: 20 MPG MT: 22 MPG (which still is weird I believe!)

My guess is 26mpg is manual trans. There are two precedents:
1. Optioned packages, such as DCT, are put in parantheses (24) in the website listings 2. The M5 in DCT loses 2mpg compared to it's manual Now I don't know why it would lose it, but the fact is the SAME DCT in the m5 currently does lose 2 mpg compared to it's manual counterpart. This just gives me another reason to be smug about my manual transmission |

All that said, still thinking about it and want to take a test drive before making the call of whether I'll suck up the extra trips to the gas station. Last edited by cpippolo; 05-29-2014 at 08:50 AM.. |

You get 24 mpg vs the EPA 18 mpg city rating on your ATS. So I would except you to get 6 mpg over the 17 mpg city on the F80. I.e 23 mpg average. Last edited by solstice; 05-29-2014 at 11:12 AM.. |

It still does not solve my big question mark why the differences come up for DCT/MT over the EU figures. I thought these were more alike... but maybe it is due to the stopping and the acceleration sections. And as I cannot change my transmission anymore anyways... well, nothing further to worry about I guess.

I went back and took a look at the numbers that UAE posted when he did some of his earlier driving; his seemed a lot better than what EPA is claiming (Sir Loin had a nice grid, UAE was rolling between 25-34 US MPG).
eh.. I too was hoping for a better "official" number, but honestly, this number is what I get now. I expect to drive a little above, as I do now, so it's still a win for me regardless. And if the prior numbers we've seen are at all a true indication of what could be (granted, a single sample which statistically means nothing)... well, whatever, I'll remain cautiously optimistic/hopeful.

Thanks for doing the legwork on that and posting it Greg. I think this is reliable - they called it right with the contrast stitching being included on the seats and other areas for the black leather interior options.
Still it would be nice to properly vet these guys. We should each pick a tough question that can be answered via Sir Loin's FAQ post compilation and see if they get it right or perhaps even find mistakes in the information pointed to there. |
