Default Average MPG on your '10 GT?

I drive about 90% city and I'm averaging 14MPG

I thought maybe i was romping on it too hard so I started granny shifting at 2500RPM but it's not helping the mileage very much - at least according to the computer.

Same here. I've got 3.73 gears and Roush supercharger, so that certainly doesn't help. But, if you're like me, and still breaking in, keep in mind your fuel economy will improve over time. Plus, I think the computer that estimates your MPG needs to "learn" your driving habits a bit before it's super accurate.

I'm averaging 21.4 as of this evening. But most of my driving is highway (about 40 miles each way between my house and Dearborn every day for work). I do about 20 miles of city driving per day (going between buildings/campuses for meetings, lunch outings, errands, etc). I also sit in about 2 traffic jams per week idling away .

And yes, if you add it up, that's 100 miles per day. I want to feel bad about racking up the miles, but I'm having too much fun to care...

35 mile round trip each day with 10 of that being city. Its 100 + here in KS so I am using the A/C too. Just passed 1000 miles on the odometer.

I've got 2500 miles on the odometer and so far I am averaging 20 mpg in 50% highway miles driving. I've got a manual and 3.31s (ugh) by the way.
