Hi,
I have a 2003 S-Type R and I am getting a constant 13.4 MPG with an average speed of 13.5 MPH according to my dash readings. is this typical for this car? It seems low to me. Just curious.
Thanks, Gary
The dash readings are very inaccurate...don't go by it. Use the old fashion calculation and that will give you a good idea. Expect about 18mpg in the city.
17 would be great! I get about 200 miles per tank from full to low fuel light. I would love to know how many miles you guy's are getting per tank and what size motors you have.

Well, when I drive with the sports mode on, I get about 16 mpg. That's ******* it all the time. With the light off, and driving like a bitch, I get about 24 mpg. But that bores me so I get about 17 to 18 mpg average.
I'm using 93 octane fuel, Had the oil changed last week and the air filter looks good. I'm not sure about the fuel filters. I do run the tire pressure a little low to soften the ride of the 18's a bit.
No lead foot just a big brick but even if I granny it I still seem to get aprox. the same milage. I'll try adding a little air to the tires but I'm looking for 2 to 3 more MPG.
