lol, not lately. the road i live on have three police precincts all about 2 miles within each other which is odd so speeding is a no no around here. the freeway here is getting almost as bad as texas, a cop parked everty couple of miles. sucks.

 

I drove from Bay Area down to Santa Monica for a Thanksgiving road trip and averaged 23.3mpg with an average speed of 78mph. I cruised controlled at 88mph whenever I could and I opened it up a few times. Mental note for the trip was that it's not safe to cruise control at speeds above 80mph because those slow big-rigs come up on you too fast.

On the way back up, I cruised controlled at 75mph and averaged 68mph for the trip with 25.4mpg average. The car gets respectable milage if you don't romp on it. Cruise control at 70mph on a road trip over the summer gave me 27.8mpg. You can go 350-400 miles on a tank if you really want it.

 

Couldn't agree more..

 

From my 12 hr trip from MI to NC, I averaged 25.2 mpg on a tank and wanted to beat that the next tank....mission accomplished!! 25.4 mpg that next tank!! Lolol. This last tank, I'll keep the display with the "F" logo displayed.... :-)

V.

 

I do about 80% city driving and most trips are about 7 miles. I've never seen above 16.5 unless I have a long highway drive in there. I pretty much baby it too so it's kind of sad.

 

Just do the opposite, see how low you can get the reading. Mine so far is 11.7 MPG.
- problem solved.

 

F gas mileage !!!!! Gas prices are on the floor. Who gives a damn. I launch from every light.

 

I came from a 750hp Camaro ZL1 on E85 which got about 8mpg.. the IS-F is basically a Prius to me :P

 

Who purchases a V8 with gas mileage in mine...?

 

I'm only getting 13 mpg this tank

 

Love reading your responses. Yes gas prices are really low. Hurts us folk up in Williston from getting an ISF though. :/

 

Jspecvtec, I'm about the same lol, 92 octane ethanol free, joez and a is350 2way giken are just a few things that do not help... My buddies truck (in pic) has me on digs in a 1/8th mile but only falls behind a tad lol, he's running compound twin cummins, built trans and free flowing exhaust

 

Average what? LOL

 

If I was concerned about economy, I wouldn't have bought my F.

 

I never even look. Just did and it says 14.2 avg. lol Headed to the gym to destroy that number. lol



Buying a performance car with a 5L V8 and getting upset at the mpgs is like marrying a **** star and finding out your not her first. LMAO We all could have told you that!!

All jokes , aside.... I used to be more concerned with that on my LS, dont even look very often at all with the F. Its always bad. Best I ever had was 26.8 on a 3 hour drive to Inde Motorsports Ranch and the worst was 6.7 at my last track day. Gas in Zona is dirt cheap so Im SO not concerned. After 2 years I have accepted that this car eats tires and guzzles gas and I LOVE IT. My rear AD08Rs are already toasted after about 2500 miles. I spend easily +$3,000 a year on tires ( at least every 6 months ). With the tank so small and the tires so abused I have become aqaunted with my local gas stations , TireRack.com, and have become closer with my Discount tire sales people again. LMAO.
