OBC tells me I get 17.5 mpg. Good mix of sedate and aggressive driving.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely with a pretty, well preserved body. The goal is to skid in broadside, tires smoking, body all dented, leaking fluids, gas gauge on empty, throughly used up and worn out, proclaiming, "Holy sh!t, what a ride!"
Are you guys calculating this by comparing fill ups to miles traveled between? I just go by the dash computer......

I do both. I checked my computer, and it is usually within a .1 or .2 of calculated. Mileage is more meaningful if you post the average speed also IMHO.

That is outstanding if that is 80% city and only 20% highway. Still good even if 80% highway!!

I put on my flame suit when I posted that.. figured I'd get slammed big time for not driving the vehicle as intended. About time to crank up those cylinder head temperatures...

Some drive like they stole it, others drive like the repairs are coming out of their pocket!!
Unless I have some open road, this car loafs just fine at low rpms. I can't see running 3-4k when there is no where to go. If a hole opens in traffic, I normally don't even have to downshift, but if I do, not hard to move the little stick in the center console!! But, to each his own, enjoy your beast your way!!

I get between 17 and 28 depending on how I am driving and where I am driving. Bringing my baby home from Texas it was 1300 miles of wide open road. I wasn't cracking it too hard but I did open it up a few times. For the most time I was cruising around 80MPH and I got 27.7 MPG on the way home. When im stuck in crunch traffic and then when I get an opening stomp on it I get about 17. On average I get about 23 all tolled.
