Question for Los Angeles based C63C owners:

Hey guys,

I'm considering ordering a 2013 C63C in June...

95% of my driving is in stop-go LA traffic...

What real life MPG are you getting so far??

I've been driving an 09 Cayman S PDK and although it states 20MPG for city the best I got was 14 MPG for the three years I've had it...

So the published city MPG might seem possible out in the boonies but seem like a pie in the sky for daily city driving in Los Angeles...

Thanks,

M3 - C63 blk/blk ordered

I have actually been pretty impressed with mileage improvement you can get by leaving it in comfort setting, and in contrast putting it into manual gives me the mileage I was expecting, but it is hard to not do it to hear that intoxicating sound.

10-12 MPG before tune, 13-17 after OE Tune. Really made a difference on the highway.

That is very interesting that the tune actually improved your MPG....Maybe it's because it frees up the engine more

AMG & RR

I get about the same as others. 11mpg in the city about 13-14mpg on the highway. Imo I don't think there is a performance car out there that does better mileage than a McLaren MP4-12C at the moment, but that's a completely different category of cars and $ as well.
