I get about 16-17 mpg... 60% rush hour traffic.. going like 15-20 mph. Really sucks now that gas is averaging $2.50 here in so cal.

(23 mpg if 100% freeway driving.)

I average 20-22 MPG on 40 miles 1 way to work but in pretty heavy traffic. On pure highway, if I stay between 70-80 MPH, I got 26-27 MPG. I guess that's pretty true to spec.

I average between 16-20 mpg with 80% city driving / bumper to bumper traffic driving... if i'm really careful and easy on the throttle i can get up to 19-20 mpg even with city driving but normally i get like 17mpg... its hard not to jump on that throttle lol so addictive...

I get 22.4 miles per galloon and that is with 65% highway and the rest in town, I do 115 miles a day and in the 6 months I've owned the car I have put on 13,000 miles, still think that's not too shabby for mixed driving conditions.

Pointman, get that thing fixed so we can stop reading those posts of yours.

Don't let the dealer tell you it's normal. Normal is at least 4-5 better than that. Some of these other guys on here must be running on 4 cylinders downhill with a tailwind. On the highway I can manage about 24-25 and combined runs about 16-17 and I baby mine.


Good luck.

i believe i'm averaging anywhere between 13-15 l/100. so i think that translates to something like 15-18 mpg. i've found it improving though (not by much ). 22mpg?? wow that's like 10.5 l/100... i'm not even getting that in my wife's mini cooper s.

may be you should give it a push, try some aggressive driving, give the engine a work out....do that for a couple tank, and then go back to your normal driving style and see if the mileage will improve... good luck...

at 11mpg..i will not be able to afford to drove a G consider I drove about almost a 100 mile/day....

My first fill up was 19.5 mpg, with a little bit of every type of driving. I'm due for another soon, which will be better (judging from the gas gauge) because I took a short trip.
