My car is achieving 30mpg on the highway driving in a civil manner..

that's prettty good for a manual transmission 6 speed instead of the 8 speed DCT.

3t3p · 10-30-2018, 12:18 PM

That's good going I could live with that. What's the idle revs at 80mph?

Why are you driving in a civil manner? You're giving sports car drivers a bad name!

You're not helping matters any, properly contracting "you" and "are" into "you're", apostrophe and all. If I wanted to see correct grammar I'd be hanging out on the Lexus ES forum. Can we please get back to talking about how we can improve our 0-60 times by not using the memory presets and leaving the stereo's ROM memory chips unfilled? I think that saves something like .000009 milligrams of weight or something.

I get ~20 mpg on average, and that's driving normally highway + city.

this is my morning going to work MPG.
when i get off work it's a completely different MPG

akkando · 10-30-2018, 04:20 PM

My car also in CA can't achieve that gas mileage. What's wrong with it?

I average a bit over 19 but that includes everything. If I try for MPG I can get like 24 maybe. If I included only highway and tried for MPG maybe 27 or 28.

OG///M · 10-30-2018, 04:50 PM

Literally don't know how you can drive this car in a civil manner...
Every time I get in, don't matter I'm on the highway or city streets or tunnels, CANNOT stop doing pulls

In chitown I'm getting 13mpg

ORG · 10-30-2018, 06:55 PM

How? Best I'v gotten with purely highway is just above 26 mpg

izzyM2 · 10-30-2018, 07:38 PM

DCT is 7 speed

bobert · 10-30-2018, 11:12 PM

Some of you must be letting granny drive a bit too often.

I'm burning Shell 93 at just under 22 mpg.

qnet · 10-31-2018, 01:55 AM

That's awesome and I wouldn't have thought it was possible in this car LOL. The best I've got is 22.8 on the highway.

Chasing Dreams · 10-31-2018, 03:54 AM

I also achieve that mileage. 30,5mpg on highway at 120KM/h on cruise control. 6MT

Jmm_22 · 10-31-2018, 08:11 AM

Mine is DCT, I picked it up at the dealer 350 miles away and drove back last weekend. Averaged 31mpg in comfort mode. i did put it in sport+ at every toll and tunnel though.

Now I'm down to 22mpg average because of heavy footed city driving.

that's very true/ in the afternoon i'm always in sport+

however, in the morning, just up shift 2 gears at a time and u will be slow.

go first then second to 4th, 4th to sixth.

PAC · 11-01-2018, 10:41 PM

I usually go 1-2-5-6 on my commute, but this is New York traffic. I average 20.2 city and high way. It's honestly not nearly as bad as I thought and I'm only putting approximately $5 a week more in gas (93) than i used to with my old GLI (93)

izzyM2 · 11-01-2018, 11:24 PM

The OG M2 is definitely good with gas mileage if you treat it like a baby. I wonder what mileage is the M2c getting.

m2maniac · 11-02-2018, 08:39 AM

I average 12-14 mpg. Then again, I borrowed my friends Prius prime for a week and only got 26 mpg.
