I'm hanging around 24MPG with a Limited 6MT. I do not drive conservatively, so I'm happy it's that high.

Should finally cross 500 miles (800 km) on a tank this weekend. Feels like driving a Prius though.

That's amazing. 65 mph on the highway for the whole tank?

And I thought getting 400 miles out of one tank in mine was good....

Nope....rural 45 - 55 through the countryside.

Overall for ~8K miles, the dash shows 33.4 mpg. I have never checked it maually. Lots of AC time as I'm in Az. I would estimate 20% highway at ~80mph. Balance in town/suburbia with pretty low speed limits. Certainly some periods of spirited driving as well. My view is that if I am in traffic I might as well respect my car/enviro/my wallet so I shift early, out of 1/2/3 by 2500 which is key IMHO.

Knowing how I can drive it and get this mileage, because I do have fun with it, I can't imagine what it takes to only get low 20's.. I really like that it is such a practical car when you want/need it to be but offers fun as well. Will make it a great car to own when gas spikes again.

6MT with a Magnaflow exhaust but otherwise mechanically stock.

Same driving style = 25.8 over 5K miles in my '11 WRX.

It may not be just the cold weather. Around here, gasoline is a different blend in winter vs summer.

Doses south Florida get "winter blends"?

20 consistently. Was getting 32 before the turbo.

superleggera · 07-13-2014, 11:05 AM

are people getting inconsistencies when comparing their dash mpg to actual? I'm usually between 1.5-2mpg short for actual vs the dash (for example, actual mpg was just 29.1 and dash was showing 31.3)

Yup..usually 1.5 mpg short.

ntron1 · 07-13-2014, 12:30 PM

Low fuel light came on @ 450.0 miles. Still think I'll crack 500 but will carry a 1 gallon can full when I go back out. Yea, I know don't run it too low blah blah blah...

sonny · 07-13-2014, 03:31 PM

Just filled up the first tank. I have the 2014 Premium 6MT. The car has 43 miles on the odometer when it left the lot. Not sure if the dealer filled up the tank when I picked up the car. Anyway, the odometer was at 370 miles when I put in 11.5 gallons. So if the dealer filled up the tank before delivery then it would average out to 28.4 mpg. Otherwise it comes out to about 32 mpg. This is for 30% city, 70% Hwy. Either way, I am happy with the number.
