When I drive up to Atlanta or south Florida for work I keep it in "Normal" and get around 26-27 mpg driving 80ish. I'm incredibly impressed with the mpg in this car. I've honestly never put the car in Economy mode to see the difference in a 6+ hour drive. Around town the car typically stays in Sport mode and I don't monitor the fuel consumption. The car definitely has opened up more since the car has turned over 12k miles. I've noticed a difference and it's really making me enjoy this car more than I did a few months back. I think a few more members on here have said the same thing.

But I drive in Sport+ and paddle shift all day long around town. I think I get 11mpg.
The car has changed over the 15K miles OR I have gotten used to it. The day I drove it off the lot it had the Summer tires and it was raining and 27degrees. I drove away in ECO and SNOW mode.
Now, a year later, I beat it like it owes me money.

I drive mostly in Sport+ mode and seem to average around 19 mpg.
When I first bought it, I drove it from Virginia back to RI and averaged almost 28 mpg in normal mode and the car had less than 150 miles on it, which was pretty amazing.

I drive in ECO on long trips and get around 28mpg. It sometimes floats to 31.

Agreed - mileage is pretty impressive - it almost beats my G37 in overall city/highway mpg. I think that this is at least partially explained by 8 spd auto and the "yearning" of the RC F to shift up unless you really have your foot in it.
