Couldn't believe it this morning, but this is my 16 mile commute on the I-5 North in SoCal traffic from a Costco Gas to my work parking lot (in traffic)! I wasn't pushing it too hard but wasn't totally doing FE driving.

FR-S M/T with about 4500 miles on it and a full tank of gas!

That is great mileage! However, I must say that the "trip computer" at least in my experience is very generous in its calculations. When I do the math manually at fill-up, I am often several miles per gallon LESS than what the computer says.

The best mine has ever displayed is 32 MPG (I have a manual, and drive mostly in town with stop and go). My typical average at fill-up is 24 to 26.

That's true. I keep track of my mileage at the pump and reset my average mpg meter every time. It usually reads about 2 mpg better than what the pump says. This was the first time I've ever seen the meter hit 40 though.

I drove 365 miles a few weekends ago and averaged around 34.5 MPG. BRZ has over 10000 miles and is a manual. I was quite impressed. You can also check my Fuelly in my sig

Optimus Prime · 08-27-2013, 01:18 PM

According to the trip computer I'm rocking 23.0mpg. I think around 1,250 miles on the odo and I haven't reset it. And I'm generally easy on the skinny pedal. I do have about 58790825 stop signs in my daily 4 mile round trip commute so that explains it.

Its really impressive how well this car does on gas when your not driving like an a-hole. My current best was during a return trip from Williamsburg VA to wilkes-barre PA. i did the entire 334 miles trip on less then a tank of gas getting my highest avg. of 44mpg, this was even with 2 hours of stop and go traffic, going 65-75 mph when possible, and having 265/40 18's on the back and 255/40 18's up front on 18x9.5 rpf1's. 6spd manual trans also.

I was speechless.

Edit:
i lied, just found the picture i took of my avg. during the trip,

I get about 32-33 MPG highway and 23 city. I came from a TSX before this so its not much of a difference. However, I love that I can get this mileage in a sports car.

Wo6M · 08-27-2013, 01:23 PM

A great way to track true mileage is with Fuelly . Also a benefit is that you can add it to your signature.
I have been very impressed by how well this engine is able to manage fuel. Stock tune or not this engine really likes to use every last drop...

frslee · 08-27-2013, 01:24 PM

I've been driving hard for the past few tanks.. Still seeing 29.3 average!!

CAMBAM_6 · 08-27-2013, 06:04 PM

How accurate is the MPG display? I think mine is way off to be honest with the mid 30's. Id say im getting maybe 26-28 (mostly highway with mild traffic miles)

SpectreRT · 08-27-2013, 07:16 PM

Its "relatively" accurate in my experience. I track my mileage and fuel fillups using the Fuelly app + resetting the trip/average MPG at each fillup.

Car computer has me between 27.5 - 31 mpg with about 50/50 highway/city driving. Fuelly app has me at 27.9.

Veloist · 08-27-2013, 07:25 PM

How flat are the places you guys drive?!?

I have 21.5mpg mixed on my FR-S and it's kept below 3k RPM since it has 430 miles.
I get 42mpg mixed on my 2012 Prius.
I had a Scion xD that got 19mpg mixed
My 06 Corolla gets 24mpg mixed.

I do live in a hilly place with 8-12% grades for over a mile.
