According to the car I'm getting 38.9 mpg. Mostly in ECO mode and 85% city driving. Weather here has been mostly warm 70-89 degrees and lots of rain but just recently subsided so I'll see what I can get with the dryer weather.

My 300h consumption after 1 full tank of conservative and patient ECO-mode driving... mild weather without A/C nor heating
Not bad. Now I behave different when driving... I don't burn fuel uselessly
The next experiment will be the opposite: sport mode (car and myself) and A/C

I don't understand. I have drove until the tank was completely empty but when I go to fill up it only took 13 gallons to fill her up. The car has a 15.9 gal tank right?

Yes. 15.9 Gallons.

Completely empty as in which one?

1. Car stalled
2. Remaining Mileage indicator hit 0 miles
3. Fuel light went on, fuel gauge near E

For 13 gallons to fill up or almost 3 Gallons remaining, normally that's when the fuel light comes on (selection "3" above).

The most gas I've put in mine was 14.018 gallons, and that was after I'd been about 30 miles past the "mileage remaining" counter being at zero.

Completely empty meaning:

2. Remaining Mileage indicator hit 0 miles
3. Fuel light went on, fuel gauge near E

My old car(accord) would tell you exactly how much gas it has left. I'm just surprised this car would hold so much gas as reserve.

On a side note, some idiot ding my bumper with a shopping cart. Now I have a couple pea sized scratches on my front bumper. It looks pretty deep as I can see the black plastic underneath. Any suggestions how to fix this? Should I take it to the dealer to order matching paint to touch it up?

Man I just put some really crappy gas in my car. I filled up thursday evening. I'm close to a quarter tank in less than two days and I haven't driven that many miles. Had my car idling rough and everything. smh

I'll never buy gas from that gas station again.

Took delivery on 6/6/15*with 8 miles on the odometer. One month of driving and fill ups yielded the following:

Date Gallons MPG Odometer Driving style
1) 6/12/15; 11.58; 21.5; 257 Mixed driving (break in) - standard mode
2) 6/20/15; 11.400; 22.1; 509 mixed driving (break in) - standard mode
3) 6/27/15; 13.161; 21.2; 788 mixed spirited driving - standard mode
4) 6/28/15; 07.023; 26.9; 977 Road Trip - highway - standard mode
5) 6/30/15; 08.189; 24.2; 1175 Road Trip - highway - standard mode
6) 7/06/15; 12.211; 22.8; 1454 Mixed spirited Driving - standard mode

- after todays fill up I am experimenting with Sport Mode (loving the driving dynamics so far!)

I have 3400 miles and I'm getting roughly 21mpg. That's with 70% city driving and 30% highway driving.

I've been getting about 23 plus mpg. I just changed my tires to low resistance ones and I'm hoping to crack 25 mpg.
