I finally ran out my first tank over the weekend, and while the dash was saying 14.6 avg, I hand calculated it to be 19.1. I've been pretty easy on it so far as well....haven't taken it over 4000-4200 rpm, and this has been mostly city driving, but some mix. I'm thinking 19 is pretty good for the first tank...I know it will get better over time too, as it learns driving strategy, etc.

On the fuel subject...was also wondering what grade you guys are running and if you can tell a difference. This being the first tank that the dealer filled, I'm pretty sure it was probably just 87.
