Automatic FR-S owners, what's your MPG - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I hope you guys are calculating on paper and not just what your speedo is telling you. My speedo tells me 29.8 but i calculate it to 28.5 on my gas receipt.

The onboard calculation runs a bit higher in mine than paper does as well.

A/T, K & N air filter, axle back exhaust, stock tires. I use it as my DD, 24K miles since January. I average 31.1 city, 36-38 Hwy @ 73mph.

On city I get about 25-28, but highway it's easy 38. Either choice is fine<3

When I had mine I was averaging about 32-33 highway when I babied it. When I didn't care I would get around 24-22mpg with my turbo

2015 I average 34.6. I run cruise control on the highway at 70 and run it like I stole it in town.

AT should get better economy than the MT box. I believe it's because the 6th gear ratio is much higher. I remember 2.1ish K at 100km on my test drive. My current MT idles at that 2.8.

They're all higher. See http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5404 noting that the OP has the AT and MT columns reversed.

BTW, I get 30+mpg in lousy SF bay area commute traffic, and 38-40 cruising at highway speeds.

So no one else with an auto has gotten 42 on the highway? Once, but only once, I even got 44. (by the trip computer and 43 by my own calculation)

i hit the SNOW MODE button
skips 1st gear, shifts at super low RPMs

does wonders for fuel efficiency

Best I've gotten on a pure highway trip is 35.60MPG, but that was averaging about 73MPH for the entire tank, so I'm not going to complain (filled it before getting on highway, filled it immediately after getting off highway, 395.2 miles, both average speed and MPG calculated, (and yes, I drove straight through)
