geswek Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'm on the 3rd tank now; running 93 Ultra -- first tank net me 17.1mpg and the second one the same 17.1mpg; car has less than 900 miles and hopefully it will get better. I run 2 days a week for 102 miles round trip, and 3 days at around 65 miles round trip. I was hoping to hit somewhere around 20mpg, but hell if it doesn't budge off 17.1 then so be it. I am playing with the throttle a bit; having a little fun. It's not a WOT every day if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have never been pleased with the mileage I get using Sunoco fuels, it is always lower then almost any other gas in the area. So I am not surprised that you are not seeing better mileage. I've been seeing my best mileage with BP and also with Valero lately. I also don't get great results from Sheetz fuel...my cars just don't run well on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 These tanks have been Giant fuel so far -- not sure who provides it. There are no Valero's near me; and the cost at BP in West Chester is stupid. It's like 4.30 or something a gallon--in fact every BP I've ever seen here is stupidly expensive. I'll pay 3.90 gallon but I'm not paying over 4.00 for something. Fuel is not that "different" to warrant a near 50 cent increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closcer Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 93 octane filled at Kroger or BJ's stop and go traffic in Atlanta. 35 mile drive = an hour and a half sitting in traffic. I average around 18.5 mpg that's in sport mode and somewhat spirited driving when I can move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah, sounds like my area -- I spend more time in traffic than anything. My 60 mile commute to Wilmington Delaware is literally 30 miles with stop light after stop light--worse drive in the world. I figure 18mpg will suffice--I knew this car wasn't my Focus at 29mpg period LOL. I didn't buy it for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmharvey79 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have only ran 93 octane in my 2013 SHO with PP and I've noticed two bumps in mileage over the first 11k miles...I switched to all-season tires and saw close to a 1mpg increase and I added a K&N drop-in filter and noticed a small mpg increase. I'm currently averaging 19.1 to 19.3mpg with about 70% highway / 30% city and a decent amount of "spirited driving". On a road 600-mile road trip I think I averaged right around 23.1mpg.

tss Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Honestly, I do a wide open throttle everyday. It's therapeutic. zonblitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, I do like going WOT--be nicer once I get mods in. Hell, if 17.1 MPG is all I'm getting--I don't know if I want 400 hp at the wheels. That's going ot make my MPG like 3. Hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott13SHO Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I drove up to Central NJ to Atlantic City and back home again over a 24 hour period this past Saturday/Sunday and I got about 22 MPG with about 3200 Miles on my car using the cruise for about 90% of the drive. I have a '13 with the PP. I get about 20 around town, so I'm kinda surprised at the lowish highway numbers with the car so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closcer Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 With the BOV and windows down now that we have summer weather the MPG have dipped to 17's, the woooosh is sort of addicting :RpS_thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I bought the new Galaxy S4 and I can't stop playing with the damn camera. I also downloaded Aviary for Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcl78 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 My 2010 has netted 18.9 MPG on the first tank, 17.5 on the second, 25.9 on the third (80% highway) and my last one was 16.6 using the paddle shifters and driving like a douche. Overall better than my stage 1 WRX which would normally net 17.2 average, but never got over 19. I feel it is pretty damn impressive for an AWD 4300lb car with so much power.

vernonator Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I run 91 octane in my '12 PP and am avg 23.1 per onboard-computer (I know some don't trust that). I WOT several times a day and drive 50mi roundtrip to/from work mostly highway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I got 21.2 on my last tank with 93 octane and less than 2500 miles on car. It's getting up there, but this last tank isn't good--I was hammering the hell out of it the other night with my mate--we were railing the country.

RamblinClam Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I saw Chip Foose at a car show in Orlando last week. He had some of his cars there...VERY nice. Didn't see any SHOs there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
