Owner Real-World Fuel Consumption (Merged Threads)
Ok I know if you buy a RC-F the last thing you would be concerned about is the m.p.g, but just for interest what sort of real world m.p.g are you getting?

All kidding aside, not a one of us bought the car to cut back on fuel consumption.
The eco mode is a novelty for the RC F.

How are you guys getting 16 mpg in this thing? My car tells me I'm getting 17.4 mpg in my 350 f-sport and that's while babying the thing.

If this is city, the mileage is pretty good for a 467 HP engine.

I have a normal foot
The near 0 degree weather here is not helping the mpg

While driving very mellow on the freeway, I was once able to get up to 26mpg (not calculated, but from the display). Since the car is still fairly new, I tend to smash the skinny pedal when taking people for rides, so I'm in the 14-15mpg range. With a normal mix of freeway and streets, I get in the 18-19mpg range.

I once got 27.7 for 3 hours on an interstate in ECO mode.
But I usually drive exclusively in SPORT + and get about 14mpg.

I had the IS F out in the 16 degree weather in the Philly suburbs today. The summer tires are useless in this cold weather. It's a skate.

Still, nearly 30 in Eco given the engine is amazing.

I am glad I swap out the summer tires with a set of all season a week after I got the car. It feels much better now driver in the cold.
