Hey guys I'm curious to see how many MPG's everyone gets on average. I do a lot of city driving and not that much highway driving and ive been getting around 15.5. However, I did just get my car last week so Ive been driving it a little rough every chance I get. but Im curious to see how others do. Also how many miles do you get per fill up. I show 270 but I'm getting around 220ish.

Thanks for the responses guys!

He might have done more testing if you PM him. I does alot of cross country driving. I think he did not have any mods before these posted tests.

C'mon guys.... Don't worry about those things. Think how much fun it is to drive our cars. If you start worrying about those things, you won't be able to enjoy driving it like you borrowed it.
That's just my opinion.

MPG is completely subjective. Someone who only drives in the city is not going to be anywhere close to someone who only drives on the highway. Even 2 people who only drive on the highway can have a large difference between their MPG depending on speed and temperature. Then if they are not both completely stock it's another variable.

Before I got my new tires last week I was able to get ~28 MPG in any driving mode that used 8th gear at 70 mph. Sport+ will not use 8th gear at 70 mph, in fact I don't think it will ever use 8th gear. This was only on the highway, and I usually averaged around 26 MPG since I usually drive at 80 mph.

I now average around 25 MPG at 80 mph since I went with tires one size wider than stock on the front and rear (lost 1 MPG).

The different modes don't do anything for your highway MPG. They only effect fuel usage during acceleration. What gear you ride in on the highway determines your MPG (FYI). I know from first hand experience driving the same traffic free highway route to and from work every single day.

However, I do have a few miles of off highway driving and I nail it a lot (pedal to the floor). My overall average is around 18 MPG. With how few miles I actually drive off of the highway I'd guess that I get 12 MPG city. But that's only a guess. It may be much lower... But if I were worried about MPG I would have bought a hybrid. I didn't even look at MPG stats on any cars when I was shopping for my next toy.

this is one thing I can honestly say I don't know about on the car, I don't even look at the mpg to be honest.

I mainly did it for tire comparison purposes. I used the MPG estimator on the car itself. I don't know how accurate it really is since I've never done the math on how much gas I put into the car vs. how many miles I went. I'm curious how much difference my 305/275 setup is going to make on the MPG. I'm guessing that I'll lose another 3 MPG off of the ~25 I get at 80 mph now. I may even upsize the front end to 285 instead of 275 to keep the front/rear angle the same as stock. I haven't decided yet...

Usually I average around 17.7 MPG, I just got my exhaust installed. Halfway through first tank and i'm averaging 14.9 MPG.

Agree with Davew77 on how dependent it is on conditions. On that note, I'll provide some perspective. I get about 16 MPG in the city and 26 hwy. For comparison, under similar conditions, our NX AWD gets 20 MPG City and 25 hwy.

Very pleased with the RC F's numbers, especially on the highway slightly edging the NX!

Goes to show how efficient the big V8 is in thanks to the Atkinson cycle, combined with better aerodynamics, and the 8-speeds dropping the revs.

I usually get around 20mpg. I do mostly highway at speed limit of 70mph (wink wink... lol) and some city... usually about 5 miles city and 25 miles highway to go to work.
