So far I'm getting 27.3 at 1030 miles of mixed driving. I'm sure it will drop a bit now that I'm past the break-in period though...

I am getting extremely disappointing gas mileage with my car....only 18.5mpg.....this 95% city driving.but still I thought it would be better....my last car had a big v8 and got almost the same gas mileage. I don't drive it that hard, I have an auto,and I only use the sportmode about a third of the driving time...o by theway I have 1100 miles and my car is an e92

ganeil · 11-07-2006, 11:41 AM

I am getting 22mpg in mixed driving for the first 500+ miles.

Titania · 11-07-2006, 02:35 PM

25 mpg in mixed driving over ~700 miles. Highway only is 32-34 mpg at an average of 75 mph.

cycler2 · 11-07-2006, 08:46 PM

I'm getting ~25+ in mixed driving after 1270 miles. Highway is 30+. I'm very pleased with the mileage so far, given the high horsepower relative to displacement.

any more ?

s4iscool · 12-11-2006, 08:37 AM

as mentioned a zillion times, when you get to around 5-10k miles, your MPG will stabilize and be at its highest. Thepre5k miles is the worst time for mpg. Dont let it worry you

miamidanny · 12-11-2006, 09:57 AM

I'm getting around 24.6-25.2mpg in mixed driving.

19 mpg in all city driving. I have about 1000 miles.

I'm not complaining though ... my previous car (RX-8) was doing 13-14 mpg on average. I was on a first name basis with the people at the gas station I usually fill up at.
