There are several members here, with '13-'16 model years, MT, that tend to average 31-32mpg at a low (usually 33-35mpg at best) , or even on longer drives 300+ miles, 95+% highway driving, some people have averaged 36-39mpg.
It all depends how heavy your right foot is, type of tires (and air pressure) used , and are you in the right gear given the rate of speed at the time ( faster you can get into 2nd- 3rd gear around town … the better, and obviously going 55+ mph the faster you can get into 5th-6th gear the better). Matching speed with the right gear is critical. …. but those three are critical in reaching a higher MPG.
