Right now, I am at ~19 mpg for mostly city driving with a high of 28.7 mpg over the last 400 miles. As they say, your results may vary.

Last time I checked I was up over 20 mpg but it's been as low as 17. It depends on how much foot stomping I do. IMHO, 13.8 is a kinda low.

Have 6200 miles on my 2019 GS. Lifetime mpg is 23.9 and that is mostly highway miles. Pure highway on trips is generally 25-27 and around home (rural) is typically 20-22. I'm sure if I was in a city, I'd be looking at mid-teens.

I'm just here to read all the replies from people saying "I didn't buy this car for the gas mileage"

My trip computer reads about 5% better than gallons/miles calculations,
Using actual fuel used and miles I'm seeing 15-16 ish around town and 27 or so on the freeway. Trip computer values are around 17 and 29

Agree. My trip computer is also very optimistic compared to actual miles drives divided by gallons purchased (even when cumulative over life of car which reduces individual tank filling variations).

I pay very little attention to what gas mileage I have gotten-I think the last time I checked the last 50 miles gage it was around 15. When it gets low, I fill it up and that's how I roll with gas mileage- my car is only used for fun rides and I might have a different attitude if I put major miles on the car.

Depends on whether driving in town, short trips on a highway or long road trips because my mileage varies widely. On our recent cross country roadtrip I got 30 MPH.
