I was just out of my curiosity , the manual book says : 24 highway , 16 city .

But the highest number i got is 17.4M Per gallon even if i'm on highway :(,
17.3 (currently) maybe i don't shift it correctly?

Let me know what's yours

You're not cruising long enough distances in 6th gear to bring your average up any higher.

Hit the highway... cruise in 6th... then reset your "Average" and you'll briefly see your "Instant" mileage.

17 is pretty good for a mix of city & highway

I get about 24 hiway and 19 city. Mileage is going to vary greatly by how you drive it, how fast you drive the hiway miles, and even what altitude you're at.

dang , i'm jealous lol . Does fuel grade matters? If i use 87 , will it burn it quicker? just wondering . I'm assuming everyone use 93 here?

im getting around 17.5 to 18 around town, which isnt too bad considering i have a vector 2.5 cam install, kooks 1 7/8 headers, corsa exhaust, and roto-fab cai, and a vector dyno tune. i'm putting down 464rwhp and 420rwtq
