My commute is 280 miles round trip several times a month. My 2012 auto coupe now has 7000 miles on it. I've noticed the average mileage has been creeping up each month. Yesterday was the all time high of 31.1. Pretty amazing for a 430hp car. Of course the 2.56 axle and .34 Cd has something to do with it.

I have owned mine for almost three months.
I have put almost 9K miles on in that time.
2007 Base and I always get between 28-31.
I love traveling long distances in my car.
Looking forward to Monday, heading to Pikeville, KY for work.
There are some nice roads through there.

I keep trying to get a good idea of what mileage my 2012 GS would get, but I just can't keep my foot out of it.... Its just too much fun

You're right though, they do get great mileage for the power and fun factor
