30 is the upper end of what I've got so far, you will likely get 28 for a commute.

when i got her, 17.5mpg. No, 600 miles later, 21.3mpg.
65-35 stop and go and highway, winter tires, average between 5-10F outside and lots of snow. I am expecting 28-29 mpg highway and 23 city in the summer time.

Hope I don't get shunned for driving a 2014 V6 here.


If I fill up and jump on the highway, I get 32+ MPG
doing mixed city and highway, I average 23 MPG (This includes "normal" driving which is mostly spirited driving )

During a 2014 western states national parks tour that covered 4,000 miles I averaged 30.68 for the trip. The highest was over 33. Just puttering around town with mostly pretty short drives it's more like 19-20.

Here is my latest. light came on within minutes of pulling into the gas pump.


9.3L/100km is about 25MPG which is not bad considering this tank was about 65/35 (Highway/City)


I could have easily squeezed another 50km out of that tank. No point though.


I very much prefer to wind out my gears and romp on the throttle and get my 10 - 10.5L/100km averaging around 450km per tank

I average ~26

that's miles divided by gallons per tank. I do get better over 75 mph than 65-70 using on board computer and Gps to verify speed. that is over the same stretch of road on consecutive days. time and again this is true. we experience the same in my wife's charger with even better mileage over 90. long trips over consecutive weekends, same roads and direction. all on cruise.

The best I have gotten is 32 but that was only once. Usually I'm getting about 23-24 in the city and about 28-30 on the highway.

I'm running a 3.15 rear. Are you running 3.15 or 3.55?

I have the 3.55 final drive and am averaging 9.3 km/l (22 MPG). On a long highway trip I made 29 MPG from Montreal to Charleston, SC.

Recently began to wonder if the steering selection affects fuel consumption - I always drive in Sport steering mode, I mean who wouldn't? But do the different set ups - Sport, Normal, snow/ice make that much of a difference?

But, you know, we really do not buy these cars for fuel economy.

Cheers
