Default Who's Getting 20 MPG or Better?

For the last 3-4 weeks I've been driving in ECO mode for the most part to/from work (60 miles total) 5 days a week and have managed to break 20mpg. Normally however I drive in Sport Mode and average 18.3mpg on average. I'm running 91 octane, averaging between 65-80mph on the highway.

At the end of the day though I didn't buy this car for good MPG, but I thought I'd try not driving like an a$$hole for a few weeks to see what kind of mileage I could get.

Whats everyone else averaging, curious to see.

Before I got the ECU reflash in eco mode going at 70mph in relatively flat terrain with cruise on I got about 32 mpg!!! After the ECU reflash now in eco mode I get only 26 to 28.

In Sports +, IDK as I don't really look anymore in SPORTS +........I think it is around 18 mpg?

Ditto. When I go on long trips at night and just cruising, nice to have the ECO to get the 26-28...it was at 29-31 before re-flash. But normally, I just care about enjoying the ride, not the MPG. Higher MPG = no fun...Lower MPG = more fun

it really depends on the mix of driving. I think some folks have commutes where majority is highway cruising. I can't break 19. My commute is nearly half city half highway.
