Finished break-in and mileage is getting better and better.
The harder I drive the car, the better the mileage gets. I went from 16mpg during the first 500 miles to 20 mpg at 1200 miles, and I'm driving the car pretty hard now.
Anybody else notice this, because I've never seen any of you mention a similar experience. |
I had the same experience and I know of a lot of other members who would probably report the same...

I've got almost 6K miles now and I have been driving harder, using the A/C more. I just filled it at the 330 mile mark and it took 14 gallons = 23.5 MPG!!!!
:) :D :cool: |
Yes, the mileage has definitely improved. After I broke it in, I was getting around 17 and was driving it hard. I got tired of getting such crappy mileage, so I started taking it easier and was getting around 20-21.
Now I have 5k miles and I have started driving it much harder, and I still get around 20. |
