Damn! I'd sign up for 22 mpgs. I'm currently getting about 16-17 with mostly highway driving. And that's on Eco mode!

I just did an 18 mile run on the interstate and averaged 19.2 in sport mode auto, and mine is awd. 16-17 in Eco ? Doesn't sound right.

I'm attributing my poor gas mileage to being a new motor. I only have ~700 miles and averaging <15 mpg, although it's all city driving

What octane are u using ? A lot of the members here say that you need 91. I never subscribed to that theory , but give it a try. I don't think u should be avg 15-16 mpg check with dealer if no improvement after another 500 miles or so

On my first dealer-provided tank of gas I averaged 15mpg so I suspect they filled it with 87 octane. Ever since then I've been filling it with 91 octane or above and I'm getting between 20-21mpg on eco mode, mostly city driving though and I have AWD.

Mixed. I reset mph after every refuel. I go to Eco mode in city since giving hard throttle in city streets with traffic lights and traffic is just silly and asking for tickets. I have an fsport awd
