I've been taking it easy since last wednesday when I picked it up from the dealer. I just filled up at the gas station today.
At the end of the first tank I was averaging 17.8mpg, but again, it's my first tank and I picked it up with just 2 miles on the odometer.
The mpg has been steadily climbing every day by a couple of tenths at least.
I've been shifting between 2~3k and generally accelerating slowly, and keeping the speeds under 50mph so far.
I'm driving mostly local, suburban trips, less than 20 miles at a time.
When I checked the trip computer after my fill-up it said DTE 320.

3.73's and manual are pretty cool, maybe just a hair on the shifty side of daily driving. It doesn't bother me much, i've alwasy been a manual shift driver, but as good as the torque is you need to stay above 2k on the tach to be able to get out of your own way at times. I think i'm around 2k on the tach in 6th @ 65mph or so.

As i've gotten used to the clunky trans, and growly engine noise(compared to my former 06 VW GTI) over the past 100 miles or so, the engine has started to come to life it seems.
It didn't want to rev when it was new, but it's breaking in quickly(the warm weather helps), and it's becoming even more fun to drive.
I hope the mpg keeps climbing till at least 20 too.

Daily driver 20 miles mixed with weekend long drives.

First 1000 miles were terrible mileage couldn't get over 17 then the engine started breaking in and my shifting style improved.

Pic is after 90m highway drive, 65mph cruise control, no AC.

Driving style with manual matters a lot, now I try to shift below 2K and avoid running up to 3k for shifting although it's a lot easier, coasting to stops in neutral saves a lotta gas too.

I average about 16.5mpg mostly driving at speeds 55-70mph

My Banks CAI and Dynomax VT Cat-back should be coming in soon and anxious to see if I get an increase in mpg. Also I plan on regearing to 4.56's soon.

Did you see an increase in MPG with intake and exhaust?

JKTXJL

My mpg pretty much stayed the same, noticed a slightly better throttle response from my CAI. Also, my exhaust just came in several days ago, but I haven't had a chance to put my exhaust on yet bcuz one of the clamps is a pain in the ass to remove.

Last was 22.1 just beat it with 23.3 -- with the AC on!



Sorry for the shaky picture driving 65mph at night!

Better gas mileage after first oil change at 3000 miles!

I get between 20.6-21.3 mpg on the stock 255/75/17 SRAs. I commute roughly 50 or so miles per day on a highway, but it's not flat because of bridges. I've had the mpgs up to 22.2 occasionally, but only after a lot of highway driving. I live on the coast, so there's always a good crosswind or wind in my face, so that could affect the drive a little. Have fun! It's not about the MPGs once you lift her and put heavy tires on!
