Sometimes its a little iffy tho. I have the thing telling to shift from 5th to 6th at 2000 rpms.

On my second tank now: 28.0 mostly city. 6MT

Just hold the display button and it will reset.

Just a suggestion.

I reset the avg fuel economy meter every time I fill up and it is still usually off by +2 MPG

That is good to know especially if it is a consistent difference when trying to understand actual fuel consumption from the built in display.

I'm at 1550 miles and still manage 30-32 (MT) per tank.

FRiSson · 06-21-2012, 02:02 PM

Fuelly is good, but True Delta is better. The problem with Fuelly is that they don't separate MT from Auto cars. In addition, TrueDelta.com assesses driving style and driving mix.

At 649 miles, filled my second tank. Driving is 60/40 = city/hwy and I am getting 29 mpg. Really nice compared to my MINI Clubman S that was getting 24 driving the exact same proportion.

I'm close to 800 miles now, and my average is at 22.5 MPG on my auto. Going to reset it once I get to 1000, I got it with 144 miles and a MPG of 19, so hopefully I can get some more out of it. It's hard to drive this car calmly!

For highway trips, got two 36+ mpg tanks and for mixed driving got 27 and 28 mpg tanks.

chate · 07-02-2012, 03:09 AM

almost 2k on the clock, lowest is 22 highest is 34 (MT) based on dash mpg avg per tank

MF_DEUCE · 07-02-2012, 03:12 AM

The first two tanks i was around 25mpg, but now that im over 1000 miles I'm getting 29mpg. That could be because i've changed my shifting a bit and actually using the shift indicator more. lol

Im using the M/T btw.

I put ~750 miles on the car this weekend during a highway trip. Spent a good amount of time in excess of 75mph. Car gave me ~29.7mpg for the weekend. Is a 6MT.

1st tank with just over 300 miles total on car I got 23.5mpg.....about 1/3 city...but I have been quite spirited up to the 4000rpm break in point.....which is quite hard to stay under......so I am pleased with its mileage.....I have no doubts it can get well into the 30's on the freeway once broken in.....
