20-24 mpg is what I'm seeing so far. Today was the first day I actually floored it and WOW this car has so much power through the entire range.

did anyone else experience terrible MPG while breaking in the FL5? I was averaging 24 on my FK8 but now im around 14 with the FL5. Wondering if itā€™s just a break in period thing as I got my FK8 with 5k miles but the FL5 is brand new.

Whatā€™s the break down in terms of percentage of highway and city? 14 does seem low. Tire pressures? Keep in mind that winter gas blends typically net lower MPGā€™s as well. I recommend resetting the computer and taking a long drive. Do you idle the car often?

Iā€™m at about 170 miles in with the car and I would say 130 Highway (80%) and 40 city (20%). I only idle the car for 10-15 mins to make sure itā€™s heated up since itā€™s a bit colder in NY at the moment plus my girl is anemic so getting into a cold car is a big no for her. Tire pressure is all good I double checked incase the dealership didnā€™t correctly check. I only put in 93 Octane, Iā€™ve only filled the tank up once so far so on next fill up Iā€™ll reset the computer and take a long drive since I gotta go to Jersey to get the car detailed, some PPF and Ceramic Coat.

Start the car, crank the heat so the temperature is fine inside and go, 10-15 minutes seems like way too long.

Are you actually calculating your MPG by dividing your distance by fuel?

Gonna give it a go prob this weekend when I go out for dinner with the lady for Valentineā€™s Day, would of loved to just hop on the highway sooner but we got hit with a snowstorm couple of days ago and I live in a secluded area so the plow trucks never hit my street. But based off the computer Iā€™m around 13.8 but based off my math Iā€™m around 14.4 for MPG. Maybe the winter blend near me just sucks that bad at shell Iā€™m not sure, I might hit up a different gas station on next fill up and see if there are any differences.

I envy some of y'all, my FL5 has only seen 30+ mpg once since I've owned and that was on the 600 mile drive back from Georgia.

Manā€¦I guess Iā€™m doing it wrong. If youā€™re driving ā€œrightā€ on the highway (so you only get ~17-20 mpg), you risk getting a major speeding ticket. What are yā€™all doing? Leaving it in 4th gear while doing 80 mph?šŸ¤£

Turning 3k at 80 gets me around 24-25mpg. But it's tough not to hit triples when passing slow vehicles.
