13 city and about 20 highway, but this is just a guess, as I've never actually looked or calculated MPG in this car, nor do I care.

17.4mpg over the last 3500 miles. I don't care about the MPGs so much as how much I have to fill up the tiny tank. I think on the last tank I had traveled 83 miles when the low fuel light came on.

18.23mpg since 09 Nov 2015. Not bad compared to the 25mpg from the little 4cyl in my CUV.

I like to rev it....a lot, but I'm very very weary of getting anywhere near redline. I THOUGHT (as a terribly inexperienced driver) that RPM of 2,250-3,500 would give me best gas milage, am I terribly wrong? These engines seem to love high RPM.

Using that upper RPM doesn't hurt the engine at all, just makes the engine use more oil because it slings more and causes more oil vapors.

im averaging 20.5mpg (as shown on display) but this is due to a commute of 90% highway and 10 city. Im usually doing 70mph and have some fun on exit ramps where i get into the powerband.

Ive also switched to 0w-40 and got the Alpine tune which seem to help slightly with mpg.

Best i ever got was 21.5mpg driving from Florida back to DC and had the AC running for the most part.

I live in the Okanagan Valley so most drives are in the hills and/or mountains around my area.
My current average is 18.7 litres per 100 kilometers ... 12.6 mp(us)g
