200 Miles Per Tank?

[Lucaboy]

So I have noticed a number of forum members posting pictures that have included images of their dashboard, and noted that the fuel range appears to differ to my own. I have seen many posts with upwards of 300 mile ranges at almost full tanks. I have not gained more than 220 miles from a full tank of fuel before filling up. 3.5 V6. I drive it like a lotus should be driven but not excessive. Mainly having fun on b roads etc and usually only 20 to 40 mile outings. When I first got the car (New in September 24) I was getting around 20 to 22 mpg, probably due to honouring break in guidance. I am now averaging around 14 to 15 mpg. Maybe this is normal for my driving and now being in sports mode? and need to just shut up and enjoy the car, but asking if anyone else is getting these kind of numbers? The reason for my question is not on cost, more to put my mind at ease that there is not something I need to have checked. (One mod = Miltek Controller)

I avg around 20mpg but I mostly drive on the highway, so it's not unimaginable to be lower especially if driving spiritedly.

I say if it drives fine and no warning messages, keep enjoying it and don't overthink it.

I am curious what rpm range people keep when coasting/not accelerating.

I don't believe it.

After a track session, you can see some crazy low values on a tank for sure. My I4 was slightly more than that after a track session plus fill up, but not much more.
The I4 does better on fuel and does well in a run, but it drinks plenty if you actually use remotely use the power on the road.

My lifetime is 19.2 after 10k miles. Highway cruising typically falls between 23-25 mpg. Around town, zipping from light to light bings 16-18.

This is my favorite - at the gas station right after a track session before driving home. I'm averaging < 4mpg at the track. This is a V6 6MT.

From the replies so far it seems everything is normal and that a few of you are knocking out single digit mpg. Therefore the message is clear. I am obviously not driving it hard enough.

As you were!

Just a reminder, US & UK Gallons are not the same. 20mpg in the US, would be the equivalent of 25mpg in the UK.
