Default Fuel Efficient Problem And suggestion for best exhaust.

Hey guys, so I just recently picked up a 2014 is350 f sport. However, i am currently only getting about 300KM a Tank. Avging at 17-18L/100KM (16MPG) (Yes i am from Canada)
I barely even redline the car or gas it hard, so I'm wondering if this fuel mileage is normal. Also best bang for the buck Exhaust ?

i am also from canada and have the same vehicle. my mileage is something like 300-350km per tank. i recently found a setting - auto AC or always on AC (cant recall). i turned it off, wonder if it’ll make any difference.

as for exhaust, i’m expecting an invidia q300 on monday. i almost feel like i should’ve ordered the ark performance (mufflers look extra fancy rofl).

Your gas consumption is really high.

My average since winter began is about 13L/100km. I drive a lot of freeways, and like a granny. I find that if at all possible, using cruise helps lower consumption. I idle a bit on warm up too so that doesn't help much

2015 350Fsport avg just under 12L/100km atm but up to 12.6 when it was breaking in initially. 17-18 sounds unrealistically high, are you in bumper to bumper traffic all the time? I never use eco btw...mostly regular and the occasional s and s+ and a good mix hwy and city.

My '14 IS350 f sport average 19.5 on normal and sport+ on street only (daily driver to work) and may get up to 21 with eco mode. Occasional mix between street and highway yields about 28 to 32 mpg. There is a detailed thread about this.
