I guess the problem with mine is that I do all in town driving but I still would like to get more than 13.5 to 14.5 per gal.

Just throwing in my 2 cents again,
You have to remember that these cars have adaptive software in them.
So if you drive 5 miles, get on the highway and do 80 for 30 miles than get off highway
and go city driving again for 3 or 4 miles, you trip computer will take the calculations from the ECM
and show you an average of let's say 25 mpg.
Now if you are on a 1500 mile road trip you average will be higher because it is all highway.
If you never get on the highway, just city, stop and go, you might see an average of 10 mpg. It is
not because you are getting 10 mpg, it is an average. Going from light to light burns far more fuel
than cruising.
constant city driving you should see 250-330 miles per tank.
highway you should get 350-420 if you are under 80mph.
Also, S-TypeR has two fuel pumps, so when you accelerate from a stop both pumps
start dumping fuel which is why you end up with crap city mpg.

Well as I've said before, I get a Max. of 220 miles per tankfull that is from full until the low fuel light comes on. Even if I figure it out the old fashion way it's still about 13.5 mpg. I do it everytime I fill up! Just a note, My in town driving is not really that much stop and go. It's usually pretty long distance between lights it just at low speeds.
Around 25-35 mph.

Yeah it does go up and down but not below 280-290 or higher then 310-320 in City.

The funny thing is that when I check the range after a fill up it says 376 mi. but that goes down pretty quick.
Mine is even worse in winter. Now I'm getting about 195 mi. per tank full!

Hey thanks, I did the same for you!
I really try not to let my car warm up for too long before I start driving it so that It doesn't build up to much condensation.
