So I just hit 5k miles recently on my 08 and do about 95% city driving and I'd only get about 15-16 mpg driving normally, and when I drive like a grandma I can still barely get 17mpg. I was just curious as to what kind of mileage you other mostly city drivers get on the 350?

sounds normal... i get roughly the same when im doing city and while getting it to shift at only 2500rpm... but luckily I do mostly highway and get 24mpg on the highway

thats normal. its rated at 18 but 15-16 is reasonable. i probably get the same. depends on the traffic and amount of stop and go.

I get 17-18 on the city. but its because i drive a lil agressive. if i drive normal i get 19-20.

I get around 19-20 MPG around the city.

20 in a mixed suburban setting with a bit of a lead foot.

But that's not a real slow city kind of driving.

is350drive

i get like 13-15. Lots of traffic lights

17mpg never better..

It's almost 2 months old 1010 miles to date averaging 19 mpg with a lead foot of city driving mostly on sunny days.....

hmm I guess the results are somewhat consistent. My MPG would probably be most consistent with DaSyce since he's from NY too and I've also never managed better than 17mpg. I'm kind of amazed though some of you guys can manage 19+ driving aggressively.
And damn is350drive, 13mpg? I didn't think you could get any less than 15.

I've been averaging 16-17 on mine.

i get 20 with mostly city driving.. i put it in snow mode..cant go fast in heavy traffic ne ways,

i think the mpg is not accurate until the car hits 7000 miles or more...at least for my 250mt

when i first got the car-18mpg consistent with 100% hard city driving (felt bit depressed with that little engine)

the other day, with 7000 miles, i got almost 20 to the gallon
hopefully the mpg will climb up more with more engine miles

btw, the way you calculate is by dividing the miles driven by the gallons pumped...not according to the dash display

darkdream

well mpg usually go up after a few thousand miles on a new car

I get around 18-19mpg 100% city driving, 20-21 when driving 80% city/20% hwy.

I don't granny the car, but i don't drive it like I stole it.
