Gas mileage...what are you getting?
I'm sorry if this has been discussed, I did a quick search but didn't see any results.
I just hit 3,900 miles today and recently averaged 22.40mpg on my base V6, mainly cruising on the freeway but probably a good 20mph over the limit...whoops!
I know that's nothing to brag about but considering how heavy my right foot is, I'm pretty damn amazed.
What are you guys averaging...?

I did it by hand and don't know if I've seen anything close to 30mpg...

Myself as well--last time I filled up during a road trip I had a range estimate of over 400 miles on my new tank of gas. This is based on a speed of 75-85 mph.

I just calculated my first 3 tanks from buying the car new; I have a 2016 Base model. I got: 27.0, 30.5, and 29.5 mpg. I live in rural CO, and 90% of my driving is highway, not freeway, and a little in town. When I calculate trip mileage I do round-trip average to avoid the uphill-downhill issue, and we have a lot of those. For example, on a recent round trip from home to Copper Mountain only, the computer said 33.1 mpg, but I'm guessing that is 2 mpg high, similar to what others have observed or guessed.

I am one of those people who tops off at fill up to get an accurate MPG and find in my 2106 R the computer is optimistic by at least 3 MPG. I can live with that if it is consistent even if not accurate. The best I got on the Hwy was 24 and that was with a very light foot, to depressing to talk about the city mileage but I can always fool myself and believe the computer.

My most recent tank had a higher percentage of highway (indicated, but not perfectly by the average speed over the tank), and the numbers show it. As for calculated versus indicated, the graph makes clear what I see. It tracks, but is off by an average of 7.4%.
