Haven't really paid attention to mine...definitely not a "sipper" lol.

Not to hijack your thread but I see may people talking about S mode on/off in certain conditions. Is there a recommendation on when to/not to use the S mode?

 

Over the 2 yrs I've owned the car, 23.9 mpg(US).

 

~ average is 21-22 MPG

3.0 Sport Manual and occasionally I drive hard.

 

When I drive all city I get about 13-14 mpg...highway I get about 26-28 mpg. I recently changed the fuel filter and there seems to be an increase in mpg, I just need to drive more to confirm.

 

I converted mine to LPG three yrs ago and havent looked back, way more economical (rare for these beasts)

 

The length of your trips also makes a big difference to the mileage.

When cold the engine is heavily over-fueled, think about the choke on an old-school carb engine, same thing.

If you do lots of short trips where the engine doesn't get up to temp, then consumption goes out the window.

I live literally a 4 minute drive from work (before anyone says it, i don't walk cause i live up a hill)

Anyhow, in winter, when it's freezing or below, the car just doesn't get warm & the mileage goes up to 21L/100Km on these short trips starting from cold.

Flip side of that, a steady cruise at 160Km/h with the aircon off (German Autobahn) and I can get 10L/100Km...

Normal mixed driving when warm sees 13-17L/100km. That's with the 3.0L & an autobox.
