sounds right to me. Not to be an A-hole, but if you want good gas mileage you should have bought a honda or toyota. It's a small price to pay for driving a precision machine.

I'm going to guess by "a little excited" and 13.1 mpg you mean you're flooring it everywhere.

STOP NOW!

The car has a break-in period. RTFM.

If that's not the case.....good!

Some people break their car in different ways. I did a hard break in, and at 28k miles, I have not had a single engine problem yet. I even tracked it at 500 miles and drove it 100 right off the lot. No ticking noise, no oil temp problems. To each his own.

16.7MPG with 19MPH avg is good. My average is 19 mpg on 28 mph.

Im telling you, its where you live, nyc city mpg is brutal cause you are in stop and go every 15 sec. lol some of these guys are in the stix and even their city driving can reach 70mph where we barely hit 70mph on the highway sometimes.

Totally agree, when I got this car I even told the salesman straight up, this car sucks gas like a ****, its rwd, horrible for snow, and theres no real back seat, but Im buying it cause it looks HOT as ****..... Gas was $4.20 a gallon for premium when I got this car and I didnt give a darn...... lol

Good to know. ^^ I drive mine hard too. I have to hit 100+ at any chance I can...only 3500 miles on it so far. What MPG.... I don't even keep track....

So I wonder if people are measuring their mileage the proper way by filling the tank (to the top) and then reseting the ODO. Then drive near empty (But doesn't really matter) and then refill to the top and noting the amount of fuel used and the mileage on the ODO.

All this talk about miles per tank doesn't mean that much because you don't really know how much fuel is left.

I'd like to hear what the AWD drive owners are getting as I'm close to buying one. I don't expect great mileage but it would be ok..... (like 24 on the highway would be great).

Here here! I didnt care what the mpg is when I bought the car either, as long as it wasnt like a Hummer. And as long as my 5yo daughter can fit in the back seat, then I am good! Shouldnt have bought the car if you cant afford the gas. No point in buying a sports car and driving it like a granny either.

I was just going off what the car tells me on the dash and the nav screen.

I have an '09 Sedan 7AT RWD and I have routinely achieved 26+ MPG in this car. 2800 miles on the Odo with about 70 to 80% Hwy driving w/ cruise usually set on about 63 mph. I hit the gas hard when I need it (or when I need a smile), which is now and then. Best tank was 27.1 mpg but I'll throw that one out as unreliable/not repeated.

i barely hit 40mph in Chicago and 3rd is usually the highest gear I use. 4th I use as well but 5th and 6th like NEVER. Its just useless cuz by the time I get to like 40 i gotta slam the breaks

i thought it was my hard driving so I decided to drive smoothly on my second fill up. I didn't even go past like 4k rpm and it reads like 12.5mpg and Im half a tank left with like 110miles.
