I am using fuelly, but haven't added it to my signature yet. I have the AT and fuelly has me at 32.8 mpg over 11 tanks of gas and I drive about 90% highway type driving. However my drive home in the afternoon is far more spirited than my drive to work.

I have know clue what fuelly is. And it is a stick, not auto.

It tracks your gas mileage based on fillups by the number of miles you went per tank or your Odometer.

WTF!? The window sticker says 26! Is anyone else getting this kind of milage?

14,000+ miles averaging 32.47MPG Calculated. Full details in the first post of my Owner's Journal here.

Get about 28 or so with 50/50 driving. A tune definitely helps with mpg. Before tuning I was averaging 26 on my daily 50/50 commutes.

finch1750 · 03-21-2013, 08:16 PM

My avg is below. 16k miles almost. Hilly commute with about 30 city driving (errands and back way to work). I have gotten around 35 based on calculations in my head driving long stretches on flat freeway. around 35 mpg or so.

Trashed675 · 03-21-2013, 08:32 PM

Usually around 33mpg on my bi weekly, 80 mile, I-5 trip from Grants Pass to Ashland oregon, cruising between 70-75mph.

My best was 36mpg for about half a tank, but i was pretty conservative and doing 55-60.

25-28 in town.

High 30's should be pretty easy if you aren't in a hurry. I'm not sure how they figured the window sticker numbers, but they seem pretty far off haha.

ender2664 · 03-22-2013, 12:37 AM

I would guess that when these cars stop flying off the shelf they will revise these numbers. Right now it doesn't matter since they are all getting sold really quickly. But I think when sales slow down they will pay to have the numbers revised. To alot of people the car would be more attractive if they realize that it is a preformance car that gets almost hybrid like mpg.

7.3L/100km or 32.2mpgUS calculated average over 5,000km+ for my GTS 86 manual.

supramkivtt2jz · 03-22-2013, 11:17 AM

Using pure 93 octane and with a simple K&N drop in filter, I average the following:

38 mpg from Huntsvillle AL to Nashville TN there and back cruising at 65 mph(~225 miles and lots of elevation change)

41 mpg from Huntsville AL to Birmingham AL there and back (200 miles and a little elevation change 65 mph)

42-43 mpg at 60 mph on long flat roads. windows up, no AC - just vent.

28-30 mpg around town (50/50 highway/city)

I drive stick and these are calculated results. They are not readings from the cluster. I specifically cruise at the rpm range that makes most torque before the dip. "most" power available + low induced drag = fuel economy.

eikond · 03-22-2013, 11:40 AM

I got over 36 on the one road trip I took.. and that was with some heavy traffic in Chicago on the way through.

I'm not sure I could get 40.. but this car is certainly good for high 30's on the highway.

I have a manual trans for the record.. and I calc by dividing gallons filled by miles elapsed.

I will say that I definitely notice the difference between pure gas and ethenol blend.

Just filled up last night. my digital gauge said avg 28.5, but my math said 27. seems its a little optimistic. might explain why some ppl are seing hight 30's and 40's.

FR-S Matt · 03-23-2013, 07:01 PM

After filling up, driving 52 miles on cruise at 70 mph.... few small hills, but mostly flat

After 120 miles I was on 3/4 of a tank so the MPG is matching up with the average if the highway speed stayed the same for the whole tank. This car gets amazing highway MPG.

brichard0625 · 03-23-2013, 08:09 PM

I havent done a mpg test in a while...i average about 25-28 mixed on a tune. But i remember when visconti was in the early stages of tuning i drove from the bronx to atlantic city and averaged 38mpg doing 60-65mph. The frs def gets more mpg than what the sticker states.
