Post your most absurd consumption readings...

[mpaulus007]

I am sharing some:
- Downhill consumption: -4,6 kWh/km = -13,6 mi/kWh
- First miles consumption: 122.6 kWh/km = 0,5 mi/kWh
- Long term average consumption: 12.8 kWh/km = 4,9 mi / kwH

I know you can do better!

I thought I was the only one enjoying these silly numbers

Those are some ludicrous numbers! Would be interesting to see how much the guess-o-meter increased during those drives.

But since you can't coast downhill forever, I think there should be a special category for trips over 100 miles. I don't think the rates shown above can be maintained for such long distances.

My 2022 RWD consumed just 20.1 kWh/100 mi (5 mi/kWh) yesterday on a 109-mile trip from Prescott AZ USA to my home in the Phoenix area during the hottest part of a summer day. This picture was taken in my garage at the end of the trip.

Details
-- 20" wheels, pano roof, and over 21,700 miles
-- Outside temperature ranged from 106 °F in Prescott to 116 °F in Phoenix
-- Mostly range mode with A/C on setting 2 (out of 6)
-- Driver seat ventilation on max
-- Started at 85% SOC and finished at 57%
-- And the most important detail:
Prescott's elevation is 5383' and my home is 1030'

Agreed.

And I see what you did there.

And I see what you did there.

Thanks for letting me provide more detail.
The 35-mile drive from Prescott to Interstate 17 was hilly and had a dozen or so red lights, most of the downhill was on 39 miles of I-17, and the last 35 miles were mostly flat.

it needs less than half power to cruise at that speed...

absurd.... because it's the real consumption of a Fiat 500 EV.

round trip, so no elevation gain or loss.

Warm (75+F), about as flat is is possible (max elevation through the Florida Keys is maybe 75' on one of the higher bridges), not many stoplights, and higher speeds are impossible (or just stupid since you almost immediately wind up behind another car). 20" wheels, Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue, 2 people and a little luggage. Close to ideal conditions just going along with traffic barely above some pretty spectacular water. Pretty sure this is my most efficient 108.9 miles ever.

beat this

So what happened here? Our car wouldn't fast charge anymore, so we decided to hypermile and to hopefully get home in two legs (900 km total). Yes we were coming from the mountains, driving back to sea level. In the end we did manage to HPC charge, so, we didn't have to go for an hotel (and AC charger) and we could continue at 130 km/h instead of 90 km/h.

Also the guess-o-meter and the porsche intelligent range manager both got very very confused: apparently it had learned that my car was now doing 13,5 kWh/100km with ease. (Which it did, but not at 130 km/h). During our second HPC charge session, only 150 km from our destination, the car stated that we would arrive with 20% at a max speed of 150 km/h. So I ended the charging session. It turned out this was way off, we had to do about 88 km/h in order to get home with about 6% SoC. Lot's of fun, doing basic math, my daughter was an excellent co-pilot for this.

Porsche checked my car afterwards, "we could not find anything wrong". Of course.

Ok, you win.
