This was the highest I've got so far




City + Highway on a daily basis, I average about 30-31 mpg Keep in mind I take 4 freeways to get to work and live about a mile from the freeway entrance hehe

I average around 25mpg, give or take. If I'm doing mostly highway miles then I'll get around 29mpg. I don't do that much in traffic driving and most of my commute are those local highways so my car usually stays around 50mph for my commutes.

Seriously, some guys getting in the upper and mid teens...wow! The worst I ever ever got on my car was around 21-22mpg, and that's city driving and hammering it around.

How much worse is the 350s gas mileage?

I drive pretty chill unless someone messes with me.. but I don't think I've ever gotten less than 20mpg on my 350... i do about 14 miles to work on freeway with about half of that in traffic..

Have people noticed any significant reduction in mileage when going from 18's to 19's? I never noticed it.
