I've been keeping track with a fuel log app on my phone. I have a little over 1,800 miles now and it's been a little better. I literally fill up every 300 miles. So far total avg since new is 27.6 but my last tank was 29.3 which included a little more highway than usual and some dyno time and fun rides with a couple people who had never been in one ;) This last fillup now includes running Stage 1 and Eibach lowering springs, will see if anything changes.

Been averaging a solid 30mpg with my 185/60/15 Blizzaks and 4600 mi on the odo. It probably will drop with the summer 205s as wider tires = more drag and lowered mpg. Also those stock rims and tires weigh about 41.5# on my scale, which is somewhat heavy. Road and Track did an article on what the weight of wheels and tire width did for handling and mpg. Wider does not always translate into better handling and wheel weights do effect mpg.

That makes sense, I really want to change the wheels just to something lighter as I believe the stockers are 22.5 lbs. So far it seems this tank is doing better, but time will tell. If I hit 30 I'd be very happy, but still I'm not complaining even at 28 avg.

Official MPG

Averaging between 30 and 32 depending on how hard my foot is in it. Mostly commuting highway miles on the turnpike at 70-75 mph. 93 octane gas.

Averaging 9.2L/100km, aka 25.5mpg.

All this power and torque needs to be enjoyed. Screw saving gas especially driving this hard STILL gets better gas mileage than gingerly driving my old BMW.

93 Octane

The route I take is roughly 37 miles one direction. Mix of 20-65MPH. Averaging 31 MPG and haven't even broken 1k miles yet. Will be a week of owner her tomorrow. Getting very close to that 1k marker though.

Been doing a lot of city driving so my average is only 23MPG
I've been getting the exact same mileage but just about all city driving. I'm sure it will increase as I put a little more miles on it, I just hit 2000 miles. Highway I know will be much better.

I've never gotten a really high number but the average MPG displayed in the car is always a bit, er... optimistic. Last fill up it claimed 30.9MPG but my measured MPG was actually 28.68.

Yeah, today my gauge read 23 or 24 but it was actually 21.5-22

I'm currently getting 29.xx to 30.xx at 60% highway/40% city...However whatever I set on the highway gets dragged down by my light to light driving. I lay on it on on ramps and randomly on the highway but light to light it's irresistible to get the tires spinning just a tad. I'd how some of.you are getting such low MPG!!! I barely get 330 out of a tank of 93 though...tank is way too small.
