What mpg are you getting?

[Falcon22]

I get around 23mpg with 70% 80mph highway. 2.0T rwd with JB4 set on map 2 and usually in Sport mode.

If I slow down and put it in ECO mode, I can get 30mpg. But where's the fun in that?

My G70 is going to Genesis Friday, I'll see what they say.

@ijcly - were you able to figure out what the issue was with your mpg? I test drove a 2020 AWD 2.0 yesterday and noticed that the mpg was 13.3. I do mostly city driving and would like to know if that is what I should expect before buying.

 

[Husky]

Not at all. You should be able to get close to the EPA city mileage number (22mpg I believe). You have to look at the average after a tankful, you can't base it on what you get on a short trip.

I have succumbed to the gas mileage conundrum. This car is agile and fun to drive. I know I'll be talking with the law at some point but dang it.....so be it. You just cant hold back the beast ya know. I enjoy every moment behind the wheel, isn't that the point?

That is exactly what I am getting after checking myself, and that is a lot, but like Bobcell says the car is so much fun to drive so that is probably why. If I am being honest I don't drive this car like I did my 2015 Chrysler 200S which was a beast as well with the v6 3.6L, what surprised me is that the MPG for me is the same on both cars.
18 MPG which is awfully high.

I, for one, don't believe the only way to have fun in a car is to hammer it. In fact, on public roads, I rarely feel the need to wack the throttle. This goes for both 4-wheels and 2-wheels. I have 3 bikes in the garage that can all do 3-sec 0-60mph, but I don't remember the last time I did anything close to that sort of nonsense.

To me, fun is to be had in the corners. Compared to straightline speed, cornering is a finesse sport and big HP/TQ is neither required nor desired. For most of my everyday driving, I take it real easy, even to the point of hypermiling just to see how high I can get the average MPG display to read. However, if I see a nice corner coming up and traffic is such that I can take it fast without causing hazard for other motorists, I'd flick into sport mode, hit the TC-OFF button, pickup a little speed if necessary so I can late brake into corner entry to load the front axle, enter the turn at just the right speed, then slice that turn hard & tight, and maybe squeeze the throttle just a bit exiting the corner just to finish it off proper. If I hit it just right, I hear a little chirp from all four A/S tires. There are few things more satisfying than nailing a nicely-executed balanced turn.

Done right, I've used very little extra fuel. If anything, maintaining momentum through the turn meant less is used to get the car back up to speed limit.

Then it ends as fast as it started. I'm back to hypermiling on the straights, listening to Diana Krall's sultry rendition of "Desperado".

And driving like you do what do you see for mpg?

 

[Volfy]

Typical between fillups:

G70 6MT 2.0T - 26-30mpg indicated. 24-28mpg actual.
Stinger 2.0T - 28-31mpg indicated. 27-29mpg actual.

Mon-Fri commute is 20/80 city/fwy. Weekend probably 70/30.

The 6MT mpg drops substantially when it's a lot of stop and go traffic, which could be 22-24mpg actual. True hypermiling on the fwy at 55-65mph steady, both cars easily get 35+mpg indicated.

I have the Auto and i am city/highway 90/10

How on earth are you guys getting only 13.3mpg with a modern 2.0L engine? This can't be an average, over say half a tank or more, unless you've got the parking brake on (), or only drive uphill with your foot down.
I used to get about 12mpg in my '72 Z/28 with a warmed-over 350 V8, Holley 4 barrel with dual accelerator pumps, a 4 speed and a 3.73 rear end.
The lowest I've ever seen on my 3.3T AWD, after "spirited driving" in Sport mode was around 16mpg average (actual mpg, the car readout is about 10% higher). I'm sure on a track it would be a good bit less, but we're talking street driving.

no bro 13.3 litres per 100 kms Canadian here lol. Which is 18 mpg.

 

[Volfy]

Okay, that makes a little more sense. 18 mpg would make sense if you drive mostly short trips in cold ambient temps, before engine has a chance to warm up fully. ECU tends to richen fuel mixture in that sort of condition, so fuel usage will tend to run higher. Still though, 18mpg mixed is awfully low. My GMC Savana LT 3500 has a 6.0L iron block V8 and weighs 6,000 lbs. It gets at worst 11mpg around town. If traffic isn't too bad, I might get 13mpg. On the fwy, I've gotten as high as 17mpg.

If I were you, I would run a bottle of Techron or Seafoam through the tank, in case the injectors are not spraying well. Long odds, but worth $10 to eliminate the possibility.

FWIW, even though the 6MT is supposed to have worst mpg than the 8AT, I have yet to see our G70 drop below 20mpg average, even over AutoX weekend, where my son and I weren't shy about running it hard.

Below is the very first tankful we got with our 2021 G70 6MT, on our drive home from DFW, where we bought the car. Since the car was pretty much brand new, I took it easy and constantly varied the speed between 50-65mph, with copious amount of off-throttle coasting to boost oil flow at very low engine load. My son followed me in the Stinger. We filled up at the same time and both cars used almost exactly the same amount of fuel for the trip. Less than 0.02gal difference IIRC.

Very short trips brings mileage to the toilet. With a bigger engine, you can get into the single digits, especially if you let the engine warm up a little (like many of us do, especially once it gets cooler). You need longer stretches of road to start getting the MPG up. If you hardly exceed 30 to 40 mph, your mileage would be horrible. So there's a huge variation within 'city' driving, depending on your city, AND where within that city you're driving.

Very short trips work is 6.2 km (3.85 miles) with numerous stop signs and lights. So yeah, ut when I drive on the highway i get 23 mpg.

 

[futur3stig15]

I usually get around 17-18 in the city and 30 on the highway. But E30 TANKS your gas milage. probably like 12-13 in the city and 25 on the highway but I think its actually lower than that.
