I only calculated it once, but on the last fillup I got 19.74 MPG. I did notice the mileage was really bad at the beginning (I started the trip on the first tank), but it got progressively better after break-in. I guess I'm getting pretty standard mileage compared to what others are reporting.

Mine had 27 before the test drive and I put another 20 on it during the test drive. I wanted to see how it handled on the highway and surface streets. I was impressed and now I have almost 900 miles and it is 2 weeks old today.

I had 10 on mine when I took delivery. The car, according to the dealers and shop techs, had not even been PMI'd yet, so they just took off the stickers, glossed her up, and gave her to me. :D

Mine had 114. The dealer found a car to my exact specs and drove it from Delaware. What was I gonna do, say now and wait even longer? Heck no, it was just that much closer to break-in.:D

One of my friends picked theirs up with 144 miles on it. The car lot out here doesnt mind letting people test drive the cars.... I asked a salesman and he said that they are really careful when they let people drive them so that they get broken in properly and arent mistreated.

in other words, No one is out doing donuts in these cars.
