Not going to comment on your 2k takeoffs however if fuel economy is what your after I suggest skipping gears! For example 1-3-5

I'm getting around 19 in mixed driving at the moment. The real-time display is usually hovering just below 30 on the highway.

For economy you generally want to be in the highest gear that doesn't burden the engine. So 5th at 40mph is good and 6th at 50mph.

Everything is still a little tight on a new car and mileage will often improve as you approach 10K miles.

yeah my car does the same but im not talking about the bar that tells you how much your getting at the moment. im talking about the MPG and MPH, i still dont get why it says that i get 15.9, but ill try skipping gears and different take off methods.
