MPG Cause for concern?

I know what you mean... I take an on ramp and before I can blink I'm at 80!

Got my first speeding ticket within 1.5 months of getting the FX50. Haden't gotten a speeding ticket in 10 years before then.

Mine has 11K now and don't drive aggressively. I only get 15/16 MPG in the city 18/19 highway.

In a 35, the in town mpg sounds good - I'd expect higher on the highway though.

Our 50 gets poopy milage. I don't exactly drive it slow though. Neither does my mom.

LOL! I didn't get my 50 for it's economy, buy didn't expect single digit city mpg either. Seems to have improved a little, and I'm happy with the highway mpg - just about as advertised @20.

Only have 600 miles on it now, so really to early to tell...

I notice my fuel economy Gets dramatically better when I use cruise control. But when I'm in heavy traffic which is common in LA, the mpgs stink!

Since your car is so new I would expect it to improve a little bit but not dramatically.

I just took a weekend trip to Vancouver BC (from Seattle). I averaged about 21-22 mpg on the drive up (almost all freeway), averaging about 75 mph. On the way back, I only averaged about 18 mpg. I think it was mostly due to a moderate headwind driving back home, but I found it interesting that wind could make such a big difference on fuel economy.
