My last tank returned 30.2 mpg, 80-85% hwy. With over 9,000 miles now, it feels like the engine is breaking in nicely and loosened up a bit.

It does improve alot, mine does for sure, got 15.8 pure city last fill up pure city back and forth to work 2 miles from the house one way. When it get hot and the fuel changes it goes up to around 18 mpg. The gas mileage is horrible in this car I'm really disapointed 8,000 one year old this month, this was the first full winter.
I thought I was going to get an automatic 21\22 city because it was a Honda boy was I mislead, my 04 Malibu V6 got the same mileage in the winter. When the lease is up in two years I'm out of there.

2 miles each way? No wonder. You'll get crappy mileage regardless of what you drive. Your car never gets warmed up, and uses more fuel in the process.

........exiting the northern CA rain for the sunny climes of San Diego and Phoenix: 1972 miles/60.3 gallons of 87 octane. That's just under 32.7.................
 
finally broke the 40 MPG barrier between Gila Monster Bend and Yuma and then again between Gorman and Lodi.................it sure took a lot of odometer miles. (65k)
 
This is a really decent auto. I want an MX-5 to fit when my old sailboat/trailer once slept...................but that will be strictly for around town..............the 6M for long distance (please note above) is hard to beat. 2200 rpm/6th gear/no ac/cruise equals pure linear efficiency (IMHO).......
 
all the best from our left coast, ez............

That's great, ez. You've been trying hard for a long time.
 
I believe you are the first V6 owner to join the 40 mpg club.

10 minutes for two miles; so you're driving with more stop than go.
 
And, heated garage means nothing. Your engine is headed for 200 degrees. 30 degrees or 60, its still going to take a while for your car to get to normal temp.

''''''''6th gear at 2200 RPM works out to 66 MPH.............
 
The 6M transmission isn't perfect (TSB for 3rd gear synchro issue) however with the top two gears being overdrives......well let's just say it loves the Interstate!!
 
best, ez,,,,
