I get an average of 24 MPG the past 3,000 miles. 50% city 50% hwy. The city driving is very spirited too. Making boost in every gear.

28.4 average here, mostly go and then slow highway driving

11 mpg certainly isn't right, even in C&D test where they freely admit they drive the crap out of the cars and that the reported fuel mileage is as bad as you will get they still got ~20mpg.

As per my car when I am doing 80 km/h, I get 8L/100 km at 100 or higher I get 10L/100km. My average L/100 km is 9.5 and I average about 500 km a tank. I am suppose to be getting better gas mile geez. In my civic, same size tank and I would get atleast 600 km/tank

Try taking your parking brake off. Just kidding, maybe the parking brake isn't fully releasing and dragging on you causing the bad mileage. Either that or you have a hole in your gas tank or line and your leaking fuel.

Really? At a 115km/h cruise my car drops as low as 7L/100km, even in the winter time.

What is there to be confuzed about? If the speed limit is 60, drive atleast 60, get into the round about and get out where u need to.

Really? I only see like 7 when I am in 5th in cruise doing like 70 mph or going downhill. I keep saying to myself its because of winter and it will go down but I dunno. My average started out at 11 and is now at 9.5. I want it to be around 8 if at all possible. Whats ur average L/100km ?

I love round abouts, there are a few in MI. For good drivers they save a lot of time. Too bad there are a ton of shitty drivers that don't know how to use it

It hangs in the 11s, but right now I'm doing only in-town driving.

On the highway run from North Bay to Waterloo I average bang on 8, including some... Ummm... "Boost-assisted passing maneuvers."

To the OP:
Do you have any CELs? If not, either your DIC is not working properly or you have a major lead foot. I get around 32 mpg average in summer and 30mpg average in winter.
