Try not to exceed 2000 rpm in any gear except for 1st gear can go around 2.500 rpm. Press gas pedal gently and not exceeding 1/3 at most, 1/4 if can. As much as possible let the car rolls in neutral, time your speed so that you almost don't have to brake. Avoid braking hard! I get 5.5L in the city lately.

13L/100 is pretty insane. CVT or manual? What's your typical drive like? Is your gauge resetting automatically (after 4 hours parked) or manually?

Agree, it's like 2 mins air con on engine on waiting on the red light

I agree with m4v3r1ck I was initially doing 6.8l now I'm doing 5.2 to 5.8 in city just needed to adjust my driving

I absolutely love this little green snot, last week i have been getting 49.8mpg average. All city. I figure out that my mirage like maverick mid grade the best. Sams club gave me 34mpg all city. 7eleven gave me 37mpg average. So i will be sticking to maverick fuel with this car. Funny my 2012 nissan versa was best @ 29mpg all city.

49.8 city is impressive.

Going to track your mileage in the fuel log??
