What kind of Gas Mileage are you getting?
I pretty much only drive in sport mode and I'm getting about 16-17 mpg, consistently. I am getting about 240-260 miles per tank. on Eco mode, I got about 290 miles from a tank but the additional 30 miles wasn't enough for me to justify Eco driving because I really don't care about saving $6-$7 per tank.
Has anyone been able to get better gas mileage than that? Has anyone noticed a change in average MPG as the car got more miles on the odometer? Mine is brand new and only has 780 miles so far so I figured the mpg might change as the car gets broken in a bit.
I remember when I first bought my F150 in 2001, brand new, it only got about 260 miles per tank, but after about 2 years of owning it, it was getting around 320 per tank.

I have over 10,000 miles and I'm averaging about 15 mpg right now with all city driving in sport. When I throw some quick highway trips in there I get about 20 mpg. Horrible, I know, but that's what happens when you're addicted to that intake roar lol.

haha good to know I'm not the only one getting bad gas mileage. I seriously would never want to drive this car in ECO, or even normal mode. To be fair to the GS, though, I have done very minimal highway driving and have stuck mainly to city driving.

Well I could say no but I would be lying
I have simmered down was getting used to the car having a little fun but after I have slowed down the average is around 14.7 MPG, I get a range of 279 when I picked it up from the dealer that was the range will that change after regular use.

Yeah, that is what I would expect as I will be an all city driver also. Does anyone know if the MPG is the same in Sport and Sport+ modes.

On my last tank of gas, with 100% city driving, I got 26.5 mpg. The lowest I have had in six months was just over 23 mpg. I drive in Sport+, unless I forget to change the settings.
