Test drove a RC 200t and a RC 350 AWD yesterday in Lexington KY. Took them on the same route, tried to duplicate the trips. In a combo of city and highway/interstate driving, probably 70/30 city/highway the 200t averaged just shy of 26 mpg, and the 350 AWD averaged 21.5.

My RC350 F Sport. I drive 47 miles to and from work each day (94 round trip), My best MPG so far (per tank) is 26.5. Worst so far 22. Cruise control is usually set for 78 - 79 . My city driving is about 10 - 15% of my total driving. In ECO mode 95%+ of the time

I've had my 2016 RC 350 F Sport about 6 weeks. Overall mpg is 21.1 with 70% suburb streets and 30% highway. That's with occasional/situational Sport+ foot to the floor but Normal mode as the routine. BUT, I did my first extended highway drive today up I-35. Traffic was such I could keep it between 65 and 70 without having to slow down and speed up but couldn't use cruise control. As I rolled into Austin traffic I looked to see where I stood and with 77 "steady" miles on the trip odo I was at 30.1 mpg. DAAAANG! Bonus: my vehicle gas mileage computer consistently UNDER estimates my actual mileage by about 0.5 mpg (I track actual mpg at each fill up by doing the math). So my actual for that 77 mile leg was more like 30.6 mpg. Yeah I was in "Normal" mode. There was no percentage in hot footing since traffic was heavy even though it was flowing smoothly. Plus, I wanted to see what it could really get, so I let her have that 8th gear. I was EXTREMELY skeptical about the advertised 28 highway mpg, but not anymore. Still, this thing is VERY thirsty in regular street driving.

'17 RC 350 RWD, always have it in Sport +. Avg is at 16.5

95% of my driving is all street. My commute to work involves about 2 miles of FWY each way.

One day I decided to watch how I accelerate coming off a complete stop. It has made a real difference. I've become more disciplined. I mean, I wasn't racing, but I guess I'd carry a heavy foot on my gas pedal. I used to only get about maybe 220 miles out of a full tank. Since adjusting how I accelerate, I'm able to get 250 miles out of full tank.

2015 RC350 F-sport AWD with 53K on the clock. Getting around 20mpg with about half/half city-highway.
I'm not heavy on the foot mostly, but I do run about 80-85 on the interstate. I run normal setting mostly
but have tendency to run sport S or sport+ on occasion when the time requires it.

Default mpg

Have had my ‘21 AWD 350 FSport 3 months. First few tanks, I drove in ECO and got 19mpg at best. Then the weather warmed up a bit. I drove a couple tanks on normal and got around 24. Then I drove a tank on Sport and still got 24. Next tankful I drove Sport+ and dropped to 23.5. Back to normal this week and I’m at 25. The daily commute is 10 miles each way but this is all rural and small town driving with one mile long stretch of 55mph speed limit. Lots of stop signs and many stop lights but they’re traffic actuated so I can cruise on through a lot at 30mph
