i'm getting between 18.5-21mpg but i am a little heavy footed when it comes to driving. i'm sure if i took it a little easier,i could crank out more, but that's just not as fun. plus, im left with a lot of stop and go traffic in Dallas which kills the mileage. then there are moments when i need to pass slowpokes...

I've been driving mine for about a month in Los Angeles traffic.

I'm averaging 13.8 mpg with lots of stop-and-go and a bit of a heavy foot.

I didn't expect the mileage to be quite so poor...trying to ease up on the throttle a bit lately to see if it makes a big difference...

holy wow. that's low. even in real aggressive driving i've only managed to get it as low as 16.9. are you drag racing stoplight to stoplight? lol

@13.8, i'd expect a v8 under the hood. my friend's land rover averages about 11mpg...
