What's your gas mileage?

Guess I need to slow down. I do mainly city driving and get about 15mpg. But I don't care. I didn't buy this thing for the gas mileage. Although I must admit, getting 30mpg on long trips is impressive.

75% highway, 25% city and averaging 25mpg. The "mpg since refueling" is all over the place (21-28) but the moving average value remains pretty constant.
The 8 speed transmission is great for gas mileage and shifts very smoothly, but the kickdown performance leaves something to be desired - it leisurely drops down through 1.... 2.... 3 gear changes before taking off and the lag is very annoying.

16 city for me; 23 highway with Eco off, 27 with Eco on. That is for a 2011 SWB with hilly city streets and highway speed of 75 or so. First highway trip I forgot to turn Eco on and that was when I got 23.
Turing ECT to Power costs me about 1 MPG city. Have not checked ECT Power on highway. I usually leave ECT on Normal, but there are times when the extra throttle response is fun:-).

We have fairly identical cars and mileage, and live in close proximity. I will get 27 mpg only with strictly highway driving. Long term with a mix of highway and suburban driving (very little city) I am getting 22.7 mpg. So consider yourself doing very well.
And yes, the mileage drops a couple mpg in the winter.

So I can probably expect the mileage to drop a couple mpg down to the mid 25 range? I guess I can live with that.

I do like to make sure im getting "normal" mpg's just so I know my car and engine is running efficiently, but I mean in terms of getting 27mpg's or 26mpgs? Its not worth the time and effort to monitor it.

Same here , when your driving a V8 I learned quickly not to even keep track of your gas or what your spending.

With the LS 460's transmission I know I can get some pretty decent fuel economy, I've just never driven it in the winter and was wondering how much winter gas/cold temperatures would effect the great fuel economy I'm currently getting.
