Default ISF MPGs in San Francisco streets?

I'm thinking about getting the IS-F as my next car, but I have a friend's brother who gets close to 10mpgs driving in and around San Francisco roads. I can take 15mpgs but honestly, 10mpgs would probably push me to the IS350 instead considering it will be my DD. Can any IS-F owners chime in?

San Francisco city driving is about as worse as it gets, crazy city traffic, stop signs or redlights every few feet, steep hills, giants games, non stop construction etc. Depending on which part of the city I'm driving, if I'm in downtown SF rush hour then 10mpg sounds about right or even less if I happen to get caught up in Giants gameday traffic. Anywhere else besides downtown SF I get about 15.5mpg driving normal in D, or 13mpg playing with the paddles. Of course, straight highway I get 28mpg. In my old IS350, downtown rush hour I got 16-17mpg & 18-19mpg elsewhere in SF

Thanks! At this point in my life, I'm practically driving 80% in stop and go traffic, so maybe the IS350 is the way to go for now.

350 doesn't get much better MPG. If that's your only criteria then definitely get an F.
