I'm getting 29.8mpg over the first 370 miles. I was surprised it would be that high to start. My last few new cars usually got significantly worse mpg than EPA to start then gradually improved.

I'm getting just under 30mpg, slightly over 3k miles. I'm not trying to get good gas mileage either.

Averaging 34 on this current tank. I'm taking it gently, somewhat. Raced a few times. :P

Check my sig for my overall average.

I drive about 90% city avg. about 23-24 mpg. I'm going to SEMA next month so I'll know how it does on the highway after that. Hoping for something above 35.

23.5 mpg on my last 1000 miles, which combines city driving with lots of hills and regular redlining

29.5 and that's with a very heavy foot. Traffic is sparse where I normally drive, in town with a speed limit of 30-50mph. If I drive conservatively, it will do around 32-34, which isn't worth it to me.

This car destroys my old '07 350z when it comes to milage. The z was getting 19 avg. with the same driving style and area. Even with only a 19/26 epa estimate, the Z seemed overrated. This car seems underrated at 25/30.

If you arent familiar, this video will show you how to set the gear indicator light and shift light, the gear indicator light will also display upshift arrows at the time the computer determines would be best for mpg.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB9dcC9dl3w"]Scion FR-S: How to set the Shift Light & Gear Indicator Display Settings (BRZ GT86) - YouTube[/ame]


Hopefully this helps with your fuel economy man.

How are you guys calculating your fuel efficiency? via the computers display or are you tracking it by distance travelled at fill-up x gallons filled?

My mpg average is being reported at 21.1
I have not reset it, so this is the overall average since I bought the car. I have over 2100 miles. I'm somewhat surprised how low mine is compared to others in this thread. I do drive more city (about 75%). And I do live in Los Angeles. And the most important factor is I drive this car like the sports car it is. I did NOT buy this car because it reports good mpg. Therefore, I'm not complaining but am a little surprised at how my mpg compares to you guys.
