i have 16.1 mpg for my last full tank of gas. Filled it up with 16.7 gallon(93). here are the stats
2010 base auto, drove around 2 months with 1324 miles
255.3 miles with 13 miles range (gas left in the tank), so i guess it adds up to 268 miles for the whole tank.
avg speed 13mph, oil life 70%.
i went on to highway only 3 times with this tank. about 130-150 highway miles with some traffics.
around 100-120 miles city driving, nyc city driving that is. had to stop for all these traffic lights every two blocks

u must be flooring it every chance u get to get that type of mileage. I been stuck in LA traffic once and i got no lower then 20 mpg. go figure lol

Man, you have heavy feet! I drive NYC all the time. Worst MPG I got was around 20 in the city.

Come to NY and you'll see that your normal MPG will drop considerably. I am averaging about 16.5 mpg on my last fill-up. My average speed is only around 11 mph. The highest mpg I averaged driving here in New York is around 19.7 mpg and that was me being light on the foot. If Bill Gates drove a Bugatti as a daily driver in NY, he'll go broke lol.

REALLY? Whats going on lol..I drive like a friggin grandmother to avoid weekly fill-ups and I only average 16-19 mpg.

Yikes, on the other end of the spectrum I got 36 mpg with a loaner, based off of both the MID and the gas pump.

i NEVER floor it with this tank of gas. in fact, i was couldn't even step too hard on the gas due to traffic lights every few blocks.
i've been only floor it no more than 10 times since i got the car. i would love to do it more, but with this poor mpg and oil life going down this quick.......

What brand gas?

Back then I didn't believe the I4 mpg could go lower to 20 or sub 20.
I created a thread posting about mpg a while back and at that time, mine was average of 29.x mpg, other beat me pretty bad with 30+.
But that was my first 3000 miles, lately, recently, ...., my average drop significantly down to 25.5mpg. I'm on the same distance, same load, same fuel grade (93), if i drive grandma-tically the whole tank, I can get about 27mpg, but if i just a little aggressive, it will be 25mpg or below.

oh, and btw, the number (average mpg) indication on the display is shown 29.1, which is way off and in-correct.

The killer is stop and go traffic. I took a specific route 3 times in a row, the first time thanks to nasty long stop and go I got 19.6MPG

Same route no stop and go I got close to 32MPG


Same route typical normal stop and go I got 26MPG.

The killer of MPG is sitting idle in traffic and having to stop often.

man thats sucks. I avg about 30 mpg lol on my daily commute, and almost 500 mi out a tank. lol. I hate traffic & people driving 60 mph in the left lane on the freeway. though in case they would be increasing my mileage lol.

Wow, that's low. I have 850 miles on the car I average 25.5 mpg with winter blend gas.
