Just curious what MPGs people are getting.

[Adem1534]

I'm getting UNDEFINED, since my car isn't with me yet. Three more days to go.

I've been through four tanks and haven't computed it...probably won't. Trip computer says 19.5 MPG for what that's worth. I have a DCT and drive it exclusively in sequential mode.

I got 26.7 driving from South Carolina back to Colorado. As I was on break-in mileage, I wasn't driving particularly efficiently; lots of variations in speed and gears. According to the trip computer, the car has averaged 68 MPH over its 1700 mile lifetime.

14.7 DCT. I mainly drive in sport mode. This car likes to be driven . It's hard to take it easy. This is the most difficult break in period I've ever had.

Mine feels like 10! This thing eats a lot more gas than I thought it would.

it's amazing how you are the ONLY person who hasn't gotten their car yet !

If you need a hobby in the meantime , You could devote more time updating your face space status....

Mine is currently 100 smiles per gallon /SPG!

Around 17mpg, 360 miles driven. 6MT. Mostly sport+ mode

Around 18 here, but I'm breaking the car in. Running in Sport+ 99% of the time while loading and unloading the engine, so this is expected. Also I notice it seems to be running rich, possibly as programmed for the first 12k miles. I would like to see it leaned out some during the 12k service, but I don't know if that's part of the program.

[Yellowflash21]

13 mpg, 99% it's running in sport+ and I'm 80% loading the engine most of the time.

Atm, I have around 140 miles on the clock and just 50 were done on the highway.

[Mongrael]

I'd say about 35% of my miles have been highway so far (odometer is at 700) and I'm getting 18.4. I drive in sport about 90% of the time and comfort for the rest. Waiting until 1,200 to breach the sport+ gates!

how are you guys loading your engines? it seems like both you are in sports+ the majority but are getting different mgp's

[Pyrat 2]

23.9 from South Carolina back to Chicago. Varied load and speed for break-in. I found many awesome back roads over my 1100 mile trek. I ran the car within guidelines but clearly with a heavy foot.

Every time drive it and it's warmed up I vary the rpm, putting a load up to about 4500... Also down shifting to load it up to about 4500 on occasion. Point being I don't tend to drive at 1100 rpm or even 2500 rpm for very long, just keeping it varied. I love this car and can't wait to really unleash the beast!

Don't you find when you put your foot down a bit it always wants to red line itself even in comfort mode, or are you using the paddles to keep 4500 in check yourself?

I'm getting 22-23mpg but that is Imperial gallons.

[David1]

I'm not buying the car for fuel economy. I will never bother to look.

Not really, with fairly aggressive driving it seems to have enough torque in the lower RPM range to get up and scoot along with respect. In fact in sport+ I was able to break the rear end loose and chirp 2nd gear without going over 5k.

I was surprised and very impressed with this....

Very simple, once the engine is warmed up or that LCD gauge is showing Ok on the middle of the scale.

I switch to sport or sport +, and trying to keep the revs between 3k and 5k, during acceleration from 2nd to 4th.

Once I reach wanted speed, I try to keep it over 2k-3k RPM all the time.

Also, I go with 50-80% load on first and second gear when it comes to throttle position, but when there is space I push it shortly to 100% in 3rd and 4th gear and trying not to go over 6k rpm.

Engine is shutdown at least after 1 hour of drive, in order to eliminate any kind of carbon build up.
