I don't drive much, maybe 5K miles a year so I do enjoy it. I just like to keep an eye on gas mileage from time to time as it's an indication of a how the car is running or in my case, breaking the car in.

My last car was a Supercharged Toyota Camry, yes I said Camry LOL, and I got something like 12-14 MPG only. LOL

Its poor, something that comes up when talking to other owners at meets and events. City MPG is really bad to me, Highway is great. We don't drive much so its no biggie but I just feel it guzzles more than I would like.

Same driving habbit but noticed it got better as I got close to 10K. Been sitting around high 10s and low 20s. Pure freeway can get close to high 20s. I notice it does not affect as much or at all whether I drive more in S+.

Highway only miles, the gauge read up to 28.8 mpg, with my staggered 20's, wife and kid also with. Mostly cruise control at 75 mph. As many have noted, highway mpg is great, city mpg not so much.

I do a lot of city driving, I get about 17 max. In other words, it sucks.

Highway mileage is good, but its brutal in the city.

The mileage was appealing to me when I purchased. I went from a 6.0L V8 getting 12-13MPG in the city to this car, thinking I'd actually get 19... boy was I wrong.

I do agree, that it is surprisingly bad in the city.

I bought my car for the gas mileage. J/K ... I do like to monitor it though. I just broke 1,000 miles over the weekend and it looks like I'm pushing 18MPG 70 city and 30% highway. I'm starting to open her up also so gas mileage won't be getting much better.

I'm at 20 mpg. With a 70/30 mix of highway/city. 3200 miles so far. I like to use the Sport+ mode a little too much in the city making the overall numbers worse. I know my highway driving is consistently in upper 20's. I'm good with it.

Previous tank 20.5mpg. Driving all ECO mode, 50/50 city/highway, usually driven gently.

Third tank of gas: 317.7 miles and 14.929 gallons at the gas tank = 21.28mpg (approximation)
ECO mode and same driving as above. Current miles: 920.

Should get a little better as the motor probably isn't quite run-in yet.
