Default What's your worst MPG/city mileage

So I tend to have a heavy foot... This car is great to drive fast especially if you have a intake and EXHUAST. After a day of some eager driving, car told me I was getting 6 miles to the gallon haha.

Whats your worst MPG and average city mpg reading?

4-6 MPG is my worst mileage on IS350. This is happening every time on autocross and track.

Do you guys just look at the cluster that says 6mpg or do you wait to calculate it at fillup?

My 250 getting 15mpg :S

When I autocross, i only look at the MPG on the dash.

On normal street driving, I calculate it manually and the IS350 dash numbers surprisingly match my manual MPG most of the times. My IS250 on the other hands always over-estimate by 2 MPG lol so what you see there needs to be deducted by 2.

Guess I'm not a very aggressive driver. Just filled up today, 21 mpg with my last tank with about 50/50 city and highway.

My worst was 13.7mpg, back when I lived in a congested city. Moved to a rural area (and out of Cali) and my fuel economy jumped up significantly. Here's every fill since new (9+ years of recorded milage), 21.6mpg lifetime average...

The range is only estimate. On street driving, I get about 19 MPG 80% city and 20% highway. I got about 280 miles or so with 1 tank like you do.

Mine usually says 384. It's based on previous fill ups MPG.

I think "California blend" has a lot to do with it. I always got much worse MPG when living there.

The 12C is a fun car, but looking forward to the Huracan. The 12C averages 16mpg, and even gets 24mpg on the highway. I have lower fuel economy expectations for the Lambo.

Lowest TANK mpg I've reached is 18.9 with combined 75 city/25 hwy. And I'm not easy on the go-pedal by any means.
