Best I have ever recorded with my C2S SPASM is 30 miles/Gallon - that needs the most careful throttle work possible...
I tend to average 20-22 miles/Gallon with day to day driving. I could improve on that no doubt - but why ? I have other cars for that...
Worst I have recorded is about 8 miles/Gallon but that involved nearly exclusively hill climb performance driving.
Honestly, these are excellent numbers, without equal for a 100% fossil fuel powered super car - no matter where your loyalties lie.
Comparing with say, a F360 which gets 400Hp out of its V8, the F360 will require at least +50% more fuel to give the same driving thrill (if you will allow that it can). Does however look gorgeous in red...

If you are using 93 octane find a relatively flat area with < 5 MPH winds and < 90 deg temp and you put it on cruise at 65 (non sport, coast on) and if you don't get over 30 MPG for a 20 mile run, you might want to take it in and make sure you're not having a slight, but in limits error in gas or spark timing issue.

It certainly depends on how you drive it, which is unlikely to be trying to max out MPG. But when I have, that city/hwy looks pretty close. So I'd say usually around 15-19.

Personally I think the gas mileage on this car is phenomenal! Snapped this quick picture of my trip back from The Hamptons to Brooklyn last night with no traffic whatsoever. I'm loving the range on this car!
