MPG way over epa?
 
Doing about 70% highway and the city driving is with a good amount of traffic, in my six speed manual my mpg display is showing 35.3 mpg. How accurate is this display and is anyone else showing these kind of numbers?

Stop driving it like a prius!

In my experience its off by roughly 2mpg. I get 31 but when I calculate it by hand I'm really getting 29-30 still better then it's rated at though.

Haha, after driving camaros and corvettes up to this point, it feels like one. But seriously, I've been driving it pretty normal. I do put the cruise on when I'm on the highway, but most shifts are between 3-4000

mine says 27.5 but i feel like my gas tank needle drops faster then my rev needle goes up.

I wouldn't say way over, but it's not at all hard to equal or better the EPA rating. I find that alone pretty impressive. No complaints on mileage here.

I have been getting 22-25 in town and 30-36 on the interstate

kioton32 05-12-2013 02:03 AM

I get 37.1 on the freeway... I drive around 340 miles on a tank and always fill up before hitting 1/4 tank

EBMCS03 05-12-2013 02:43 AM

I've been getting 28-29 by hand caluclation and the computer says 31.6 for me overall... I drive 80% highway... 35 would have to be like 95+% highway...

I get much better mpg than epa too but the gauge is a bout 1-1.5mpg off in my AT. I do about 35% hwy and 65% city and i avg about 27mpg.

ilpad 05-12-2013 05:05 AM

mine used to say 22.7 for about the first 3k miles. Its reading 24.4 mpg now. I did a test over my last two fillups and im getting right around 25mpg. Im happy with that since im used to getting 12mpg in my s500.

Enraged21 05-12-2013 09:54 AM

I'm averaging around 25 mpg. Only at 2100 miles though. Hopefully it gets better. I tend to not let the revs over 3k rpms while im shifting and driving in the city.

My commute is mostly freeway with no stop and go just your normal slow downs. I average between 31.8 and 32.5 for every tank for the first 5K. I drive crap out of the car ~10% time and cruse the freeway the other 90.

cmspooner 05-12-2013 10:25 AM

I'v only been under 30mpg for a tank a few times. I mostly drive on rural back roads, speed limits between 30 and 45; which seems to really help my gas milage...and be tons of fun.
