Been noticing that the fuel mileage is steadily improving. I just took a 3 hour trip to St Louis and I was getting great mileage. Wondering about everyone else.
I've got the 3.3L GT2.
How does this compare to the smaller engine?
I live in Smart mode. Mostly city driving with a trip to Cleveland built in. My numbers on the fill ups with 93 Octane
11/21 - 21.3 MPG 308 miles
11/28 - 19.5 MPG 298 Miles
12/4 - 21.9 MPG 347 Miles
12/8 - 21.8 MPG 284 Miles
12/12 - 20.8 MPG 328 Miles
12/16 - 23.9 MPG 360 Miles
Edit: The numbers the car give you are VASTLY different than reality. For example that last 23.9 MPG the car stated we were at 26.9. Not factual when using actual mileage and gas put in.
My mileage has been utter shit this winter. On 3.3L, AWD, 91 octane, 95% city, custom mode (but settings geared towards standard), I've been getting about 330-350 km on a full tank (205-217 miles). Not sure what factor is causing this as it's been a mild winter in Toronto with no snow/ice on the ground. Definitely not anywhere near the advertised fuel economy for city driving.
How's my MPG? It's crap. But I wind out the gears when I'm on the highway because I like the way it sounds. So 18MPG combined is guaranteed to be my own damn fault
OP: best I've had is 29 mpg on the freeway. This is not a good time of year to check fuel economy, because I let my engine warm up till the oil gauge shows just past 100F. I have the 3.3L.

29 was my best last road trip. Before that 28 was my best. But 24 to 26 is typical. Last road trip my best leg was between Cedar city and Baker; 27.something. From Baker till I got to LA it stayed there again (in spite of my bumper chase with a BMW i8). I figure it's because of the trend downhill to sea level. On the return trip to SLC I never got better than 25.something and mostly under 25, most of the trip showing between 23 and 24.something; going from sea level back up to c. 5K feet.
