Actual experienced real world fuel mileage MPG? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

arbnpx · 06-09-2012, 11:36 PM

I'm getting 27 to 29 MPG in a suburban mix of highway and 35 MPH road driving. On a highway stretch in 6th gear, I was seeing 35 MPG for that stretch on the average computer.

The FR-S seems to be able to conserve fuel better than my 1st-gen tC, which gets about 26 to 28 MPG like clockwork. In the tC, I can drive easy, I can drive hard, but it's always around 27 MPG. In the FR-S, if I baby it, I can get over 30 MPG.

26 mpg in hilly city driving (Portland, OR). 39 mpg from Portland to Newport over the coast range without trying to hypermile.

After 150 miles, the trip computer says 27 mpg. I have MT. 10% traffic, 10% highway, and 80% city driving.

on the FW, you can do almost 40MPH easy... if you take it easy..
normally im doing high 30's with basic putting around and an occasional hot flare up! if i really hit it, its maybe low 30's..but still i cant believe how good it is ! Better than advertised anywhere

On my drive to Vegas I was getting about 34MPG in my MT. My buddy drove back down from Indio, CA and said he was getting abnout 42-44MPG in his AT.

180 miles so far: 28.8 MPG 50/50 highway/city. 6MT limited brz with ac running 90% of the time.

28 MPG combo city and highway

Mr.Jay · 06-12-2012, 04:02 PM

I'm sitting at 22mpg right now but thats been hard driving the whole time well hard driving up to 4k revs the whole time. I plan to take it easy on this next tank

Had mine since Friday and I am at 30.2 on the gauge, 6MT BRZ Ltd. I'll fill up after work and update my fuelly with the actual mileage.

Laika · 06-12-2012, 06:03 PM

First tank was 27mpg with all city and mostly around drive time.

Second tank was 28.2mpg with 10 miles on the high way, 284 off the high way. Once again, at least 2/3 the mileage was at drive time.

I'm thoroughly impressed. I really wonder how my fuel eco would be on my commute to and from work if it weren't for the traffic. Probably around 32 if I had to guess.

On those measly 10 miles I was on the highway for...phew! I love this car on the highway. A lot smoother than I expected it to be, it just glides along. It's great.

I was worried you were pushing it a little too hard when you drove off on Saturday..

I am getting 31mpg or 28mpg for those in the US. 95% city driving. Still at least 2 full tanks for break in.

Its kinda hard to drive this thing driving slow and keeping the revs low. The tranny makes clumsy clunky noises when I drive it this way.

lol it's so frustrating

400 miles now, "suburb" driving in a 12 mile commute to work (45 mph zone the whole way with quite a few stop lights) with a highway trip this past weekend and a few local errands

27 mpg

MT
