I've been getting low mpg, my first tank from the dealership I got 28 and my second I got 27. All city driving and little highway at speed limit, Im getting worried BTW I have sports automatic. But well see since I just broke my 600mile club

SPORT AUTO TRANS gas mileage?
hey the "gas mileage" thread is getting super long and most posts don't include a transmission description. i'm just interested in what those with the sport auto transmission are averaging for mileage...
thanks.
thanks.

I've gotten on my first tank 28 and my second 27 this is all city driving and little bit of highway. Of course I just broke the 600 mile break in so I'm hoping to see better results.
BTW I have sports auto

I have a Sport AT and my mpg went up from 29-30 to over 33 on the last fillup. The roads and highways are crowded, and I spend about 2 hrs/day mixed use commuting, with limited opportunity to use the cruise control.

First fill up at just under 300 miles yielded 33.3 mpg in mostly city driving using the Drive mode in my Sport AT. If I had been using the paddle shifters mileage would have been less since the paddle shifters only go to fourth gear. in Drive mode you have a fifth, overdrive, gear.

Using the paddles in Sport mode, you have 5 gears. The trick is that you can put the car in Sport and NOT use the paddles and the car will act like its in Drive without a 5th gear. This might be handy if driving on a hilly road that caused a lot of shifting back and forth between 4th and 5th.

I've notice that you can use the paddle shifter in D mode cause I accidently hit the - and it downshifted to 4th and when I came to a complete stop the 4 went away. So I tried to shift while taking off and it shifted, but once I stopped shifting up to 3 it shifted automatically... Weird... I hope its not a bad thing I only did it once. But lets get back to the topic

27.8 mpg on my latest (second or third?) tank
But it was mostly city driving, lots of fast accelerating, and idling. And it was Arco gas, which is supposedly watered down and cheap. Meh. Today I filled it with 89 octane gas from 76, so we'll see. I hope it gets better.
Does octane make a big difference in gas mileage, performance, etc?
