Yeah, I just purchased a 2015 Luxury RWD. Im getting good gas mileage on the hwy. (Close to 30 mpg).

Like others have said, stop and start eats up the gas. Luckily, I don't experience much of that on my commute. The only reason I waited so long to buy it was because I was afraid I was going to pay through the nose in gas. So far so good.

I'm coming from a 2000 Honda Accord V6. Owned it for 18 years. Moving to this GS has been pretty incredible. So smooth, great handling, and I am loving listening to music on the Mark Levinson sound system.

I should have gotten the hybrid. Didn't see any around when I was shopping. I have a feeling the hybrid rides smoother with the weight of the heavier hybrid battery.

Couldn't replicate the same results from B to A. It was a few days after that I got the chance to take this route. I also noticed the mpg dropped to low 20s during these few days and it takes a while for the numbers to climb back up so I doubt the gauge is even accurate at all. I think the gauge with 10,20,30,40 shows a more accurate number but you can't possibly be looking at it too long while driving.

I daily drive in normal and Sport+ and i get around 19 to 21 mpg. My commute is 60% highway and 40% city driving. I don't catch traffic but i do enjoy using the throttle so gas mileage is decent considering.

Not a chance, a GS is still a GS, a couple hundred pounds more or whatever it is, isn't going to un-harden the ride. That'd make sense if we were talking pickup trucks or something, maybe. This isn't, inherently, a soft car. A GS will never feel like an ES or an LS or anything close to that. Putting fatty profiled 17s or 18s on it will soften it up a tiny bit, it's still going to be hard-riding compared to an ES or LS.

Well, did you refuel or reset the avg before running the route? Otherwise the gauge is weighted towards all the crap-territory driving you did before that, which probably brought the mileage down, and of course the numbers aren't going to come back up quickly. Would be easier if they had a "trip average" if they had an MPG meter for that one session you had started the car.

As far as I can tell, ECO mode only changes the depth the pedal has to be depressed to give the desired throttle opening. I learn a new mode in about 2 starts. I drive a Honda Civic, a Honda HR-V, the GS and two old carb'ed Buicks so the only thing that matters is where the floor is. WOT is still WOT.
