What's Your Gas Mileage?
 
My 2018 is on the very low side of gas mileage I think. I get about 15.5 with most city driving. I haven't really kept track on a long trip lately but I dont think I ever got better than 20mpg. This is with 91 oct gas.

What is everyone else experiencing?

If I drive it in S+ and aggressive then I get down to 14mpg.

I am in the upper teens/low 20s driving in S+ most of the time. This is also on 93 octane.

I used to drive back and forth to a client 250 miles (out Sunday, back Thursday), and got about 24-25 MPG on those trips in ECO, mostly averaging 70 MPH. Now around town (very limited trips) I get about 19-20 MPG, also in ECO, but I drive pretty conservatively - no jackrabbit starts, mostly at or just above speed limits, etc. FYI, just over 30K miles on my '15 RC350

I have experimented with this exact thing...I wanted to see what my gas mileage was & is when I drive hard in Sport + mode versus Eco mode and not being hard and fast on the gas (basically driving like a Grandma). And it is night and day! If you drive in Normal or Eco Mode, and drive like a "Cop" is always behind you, then you'll register a very good high mileage return...But if your gonna drive in Sport mode or Sport + mode and accelerate hard and drive hard, then of course your not gonna receive very good results. So when you fill up at the Gas pump and reset your Tripometer...your ECU will calculate your last tank of gas and estimate your "Distance to Empty" based on your last driving habits.

I average 30mpg in my 200t. I drive in ECO mode 90% of the time.
