<5.6 on the track. 25-26 on pure freeway runs at about 80 mph. Around town, usually 16 to 17.

We have lots of threads on this here.

I average anywhere between 17 to 22 depending on the mixture of highway and city, and depending on how I drive it.

Doing the math, I always get between 20-22 mpg. Mixed, but mostly highway. I use my truck around town. I'm always in Sport mode.

Drive conservatively and it will increase by a large margin. I easily get 18-22 depending on where and how I drive. I got 25 once on the interstate at 80.

yesterday I was driving it much harder in the city and mileage instantly fell to 13. How you drive makes a huge difference.

Lets see...19.5 mpg, yes it reads exactly that since I've owned the car. Non sport mode 95% of time, 5% or once a few weeks I do a power run so that probably drops it. I even have wider tires.

I did see 8 mpg once when I was hanging with/ overtaking an M5 at full throttle

I have a 25 mile commute one way, so my weekly avg is 20-21 mpg with some spirited driving/traffic thrown in. On longer trips I have avg'd 60-75 and can crank it up to 28-29mpg if I'm easy on it. Great daily if your commute is mostly highway. I have slightly lighter wheels and joe intake/borla catback with the mufflers off, 2008.

Damn, I've been getting 16 liters / 100 km which converts to 14.7 MPG (all city). On the highway I will get 29 MPG though. My gas mileage is gotten worse since I switched from Chevron 94 to Shell 91.

I commute M-F 50 miles round trip, drive around town (gym, grocery shop, errands). A lot of it is stop and go but I've been averaging around 21 mpg... I have I/H/E lowered on wider tires (285's on the rears).
