Ok I know if you buy a RC-F the last thing you would be concerned about is the m.p.g, but just for interest what sort of real world m.p.g are you getting?

How heavy is your foot?

All kidding aside, not a one of us bought the car to cut back on fuel consumption.

The eco mode is a novelty for the RC F.

How are you guys getting 16 mpg in this thing? My car tells me I'm getting 17.4 mpg in my 350 f-sport and that's while babying the thing.

If this is city, the mileage is pretty good for a 467 HP engine.

While driving very mellow on the freeway, I was once able to get up to 26mpg (not calculated, but from the display). Since the car is still fairly new, I tend to smash the skinny pedal when taking people for rides, so I'm in the 14-15mpg range. With a normal mix of freeway and streets, I get in the 18-19mpg range.

I once got 27.7 for 3 hours on an interstate in ECO mode.

But I usually drive exclusively in SPORT + and get about 14mpg.

I had the IS F out in the 16 degree weather in the Philly suburbs today. The summer tires are useless in this cold weather. It's a skate.

Still, nearly 30 in Eco given the engine is amazing.

I am glad I swap out the summer tires with a set of all season a week after I got the car. It feels much better now driver in the cold.
