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 still don't get how you guys can get mileage in the 20s for city. I've only achieved 19mph all-city with granny driving. Highest I've gotten for all-freeway was 29mph.

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.
