      '13 with Track Pak, so 3:73 gears. 23.5 hwy, 16.5 city. No mods that affect mileage, just an MGW and apparently a heavy right foot.

      I did see the dome light LED pkg, and thought about changing, but have not yet.

          Consistently 19.5-21mpg, about 50/50. I've had 28.5mpg coming back from Austin with a strong tailwind, but normal highway is 23-24. City I guess is around 17.

A/C on and sometimes 80 and other time 55-60 depending on the area dictated traffic. I never went WOT either, I've been twice and results were the same.
            In the city, it depends if im just daily driving but I do alot of highway too, so it averages between 19-22 mpg's and there are some WOT's too, I just can't help it..

              13' Manual with 3.73's...about 60% city / 40% hwy most tanks. I reset the A trip on every fill-up and it's always somewhere between 19.5 and 21.5 (depending how much hwy vs city). I don't hand calculate every tank but when I have it has always come back 20-something. I've taken it on one trip to Austin, but it wasn't all hwy as I had a couple days driving in city traffic to and from our office on the same tank I went down on...filled up on my way home and it hand calculated 25.2...trip was showing 24-something.

              I just hit 6500 miles this week....It's gotten gradually better over time as I rack up more miles, the first few tanks were in the 15-17 range being very easy on it....I didn't take it over 4000 rpm until it had 1000 miles on it. Didn't totally air it out until around 1500 when I took it out to the track for a few passes.

                Ha, Danny aint gonna get shit. I'm not claiming 5.85 on my tune, I'm claiming filling up and dividing miles, gls (used), ve. odo, I can convert simple math, hometown.

                This was done with mobile1 and K&N, no tune, 38psi on the Pirellis and about 350lbs = two people, carry on.

                  I had to go out to the garage to look at mine. That is the first I've looked at it. Car is a 13 GT with 3.73s cold air intake,or x pipe, cat back and tune. It shows 16.6. I've got about 4k miles on thecar and have never reset it. Majority is city driving with multiple trips to track as well. I taking a small trip this weekend and I'll reset and see how it does.

                    You know, I'm kind of ashamed of us all talking about our gas milage. Not very manly.

                      12 with 3.73 and 6MT. Steeda CAI with steeda tune and cam idle.
                      Took a 160 mile round trip last weekend up 377 with speed limits varying between 55-70. Averaged 26.8 MPG on that trip. That was with passing a few people as well.. I was pretty damn impressed!

                      Most of the time, straight highway is around 23-25.
                      City only is around 16
                      Mix is around 18-19.

                        With gas being almost $4/gallon, it's a reality.

                          I'm at 20k on my 12' manual with 3.31 and I average right at 20.5 week to week with 60/40 highway city split. On road trips I've managed just shy of 29, but that was driving carefully at 70-75 with no traffic.

                          My problem is keeping my foot out of it...

                            How's the shifter? I really want to get one but I'm starting to get a little grind going into 2nd and an occasional "nibble" into 3rd. I need to get into the dealer while it is still stock I guess...

                                I have a 2013 6MT with about 640 miles on it so far and I'm averaging 17.6 mpg on Premium fuel. 60/40 highway/city. However coming from a v6 truck I'm sure I could get better gas mileage if I wasn't having so much fun putting the pedal down! On a side note I'm assuming everyone is using premium grade fuel? Has anyone filled up with regular and if so what difference, if any, did you observe?
