I drive the car in a manner that pleases me. I don't pay any attention to my gas mileage. If that was important to me, I wouldn't be driving a 330 HP two-seat sports car.

Around town, this is exactly me. However, on long road trips, I love to maximize my mpg. Sometimes I compete to see if I can beat my personal best, lol.

Most of my daily drive is outer suburban - 15 klics, then 18 klics of freeway followed by 9 klics of CBD edge stop/start on main thru roads. I cover 42-43 km in an out each day and average ~11 l/100km. The car still gets a squirt to red-line in 2nd on freeway on-ramps to get up to merge speed

The main thing is to just stroke the car along and it rewards you with efficiency. I don;t baby it, but I also don;t hit the throttle to the floor constantly either

I'd have to find out the size of a US gallon to convert but I guess you guys can do that as well as me.
I squirt in first too just because it's fun and I won't be in danger of getting a ticket on local roads compared to freeways/rural areas...

Sports car and efficiency... two words that should never be in the same sentence. It's a balance beam on one end performance on the other efficiency... you decide what you want then find what suits your hand (or foot or wallet)

I had some decent mileage... went to Niagara and back with a bit of stop and go on the highway. moreso on the way back and I still managed less than half-tank used. Not bad if you ask me since I was being a bit spirited at times.
