Fuel Economy
Yeah its about 30 mpg in the british system.
In the American system its about 27MPG.
Thats only city driving and the car only has done about 300miles or 520Kms.
I am quite pleased with this effort.
I had a 06 TSX before this and it gave me about the Same and this is a high performance Machine not a family car

I've got a 12 mile drive to work in the morning. Probably make about 10-15 stops along the way and speeds between 35-60 mph with the bulk of the trip being 50-60.
I was averaging about 25.5-26 in the winter and now I'm getting more like 26-28 mpg (American system). Doing 75-80 on the highway I get about 30 mpg. Average driving I shift around 3500 rpms and cruise at 2500 if speeds are low enough. I do some spirited driving at least once a day so I'm not driving like a grandma. Maybe one factor is just paying attention to what's ahead. If I see a red light half a mile away I just pop it in nuetral and let it coast. Maybe adds a tiny bit to fuel economy but I don't know for sure.
Lets not turn this into "How to drive a manual" beause I don't wanna hear it. I just thought I'd lay out my driving habits and conditions.

I am at the moment only max take it to 4000rpm but mostly about 2000-2500rpm cruising.
I also look ahead and put it into neutral if i am going down hill or see the signal is going to be red.

my first tank the light went on about 200
I just filled up and the tank last 240 with a little highway. But the first fill up was crap.. is it common to expirence 200 to a tank? didnt think i was beating it up all that much.
