We didn’t buy these cars for fuel economy but...
Just took a drive this morning and was surprised to see I averaged over 26mpg. Obviously, none of us really care about MPG with a car like this but I was impressed.

That’s better than what I was seeing. I’m getting right at 20 mpg give or take 0.5.
But I was doing 80-85 for much of the tank. Would improve if I was going slower and getting into the 4 cylinder deactivation mode much.

Funny, my family was just in Laguna Niguel Saturday visiting relatives. When I get back to SD, hopefully with car intact, we'll have to do a cars 'n coffee one of these days.

This was the best I’ve got and it was mostly freeway driving at 75mph. The average must include the city driving portion I had done. Also, this was the last of the break-in driving so I won’t see that kind of MPG ever again LOL.

The way I drive, I only average somewhere between 11-13 mpg... keep in mind this is in Sport+. In comfort mode I tested for a while (during the break in period) how much mog I could get. On the highway I got an average 20 mpg and in the city around 14 mpg in comfort mode.
