I tend to get 19 MPG in the city and 24 on the highway and that's with aggressive driving Not too bad considering my old mustang got 14 MPG and my durango was even worse.

Do you understand what ECT PWR does? It simply modifies the drive by wire to be more aggressive (sensitive) giving you the illusion that you have more power. If you drive conservatively it will have zero effect on gas mileage.

I like the feel of aggressive and sensitive on ECT PWR mode.

Worst gas mileage I got was 1/2 a tank in 15-20 minutes. Not sure what the mileage was but it went by quick. It was in my 300ZX twin turbo. I average 10 in the city and 20 on the highway. Calculated my maintenance cost and I'm in Ferrari territory per mile driven.
