Well, just filled up for the first time yesterday. It does seem like you can actually see the gauge going down, but at least it's cheap to fill since I'm putting like 9 gallons in the car, thanks to that tiny tank.

I drive in Sport and Sport +, still average over 23 mpg. Not sure if everyone is going full throttle on their way to work or something but i'm surprised at the good gas mileage. My 2014 Hemi Grand Cherokee got 14 mpg so to me, this is worth the upgrade.

Woh! 23US MPG is 28UK MPG, I get 20UK average out of mine!

That's 16.6US...

I don't drive really aggressively, rarely use full throttle and revs, and only do fully warmed up journeys.

Driving like Miss Daisy, on level roads at a steady 55mph in sixth it will only read 28mpg! (23US), so anything other than that gives me less...

def noticing MPG is improving as I go through the miles. driving pretty aggressively (half throttle to 5500rpm frequently, in MDM manually shifting, now at 18MPG. helps a lot with range

How many miles/km on yours? I noticed a huge leap in mpg after 3-4000 miles

Mine's a 6MT, always in Sport+/MDM, A/C is usually off, stop/start is off, and during my DD commute, I drive pretty hard (usually hit several 6k+ rpm, heavy throttle blasts per 20 mile commute, no granny shifting). 21-23 mpg every tank now.

For first 2000 miles, I struggled to break into the 18s, and I was a hell of a lot easier on the car during break-in

Could be something to do with the gas. I know you guys have some weird filter in the exhaust, maybe that affects boost pressure somehow? Who knows? Like i said, for driving like an idiot (which is what this car is built for), it get's surprisingly decent gas mileage.

If you bought this car with any concern about fuel mileage then you are the wrong type of owner for it.

Should have got a Prius instead.

I got a whopping 18mpg last tank. I had my range down to 1 mile, filled it up with 12.7 gal!!! Just ridiculous! A car with 400hp and a 12 gal tank is just so stupid. I only care about mileage as it relates to range. With this car you are at the pump ALL the time.

Your tank size is not going to get bigger but your m/g should get better. At 4300 miles, I'm getting 21m/g on Sport+.
