I got around ~13 mpg after my weekend at the track! I guess that doesn't really count though since it's not every day driving....

The lowest I've gotten on public roads is around 18. Maybe I should start doing a burnout at every light? That should knock it down a bit.

I'm getting around 23-26 mpg, self calculated by dividing miles on the tank by the gallons to refill to full. I never seem to get above 26 even when I try not to accelerate too fast. I drive 2/3 hwy and 1/3 local. I just don't get how people are getting 30+ mpg

I have a 2013 Limited I bought new last April. I broke it in very carefully and do not rev it to 7000 every time I accelerate from a stop (though I do enough to keep it blown out.) Around town I get about 27, but on the highway, in 6th gear, I've regularly recorded 35. I'm very pleased.

Calculate your average MPH, and that may help determine. My 6AT gets almost about 75% better gas mileage than yours, but my average speed is probably around 50MPH over its life. I know I've manually calculated average speed on road trips at 70+MPH and I still get 30+ MPG. If I bepoop round town in slow traffic though it definitely takes a nose dive.

I don't think you need to do the subtraction part, since our cars can measure trips. That's only if you are going off of the total miles driven odometer reading, if I'm not mistaken.

32mpg on a 100 mile daily freeway commute, rarely go under 70 mph. Oddly enough my mpg has gone up as I try to get the cheapest fill ups ever.

I'm surprised by all the grammar police replies earlier. This was just a celebratory thread on driving the car without any cares since gas prices have dropped in half.

Thanks everybody for replying with your experiences. I'm seeing a couple people post standard mpg above 30, that's pretty impressive. I've only gotten 30 one time, and it was 95% highway driving. I know that the A/T cars have a different final drive which helps with gas mileage, but it seems to make quite a difference between manual and automatic. I find it really interesting to see what other boosted cars are getting, and what the worst gas mileage has been for people. I haven’t been to the track (other than autocross) and it’s nice to see what to expect when I do go.
