More for my own reference than foe you guys, but I figured I'd make it public rather than private just for the hell of it.
13 Dodge Dart Aero - 1.4T 6MT - 14.2 gallon tank
Running 89 or 91 octane (depending on availability)
Using FillUp app. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
My most recent fill up is going to fuck me though. On the way back from the party yesterday I was in a rush, so I burned through half a tank in about 100 miles.

This is 100% comparing apples to oranges, more like dragonfruit to baseball caps, but how often do you get 22-23 MPG? My Panther gets 22 mpg the majority of the time, 27-29 when I go on a trip. I mean I could start flooring it and it'll drop to like 15 but it just amazes me that a state of the art 1.4T doesn't do much better than an ancient 3-value 4.6L V8, 6-speed DSG or manual to a 4-speed auto, and an extra 1,000 lbs to lug around.

The way I usually drive I get around 20, it gets real thirsty when you're in the boost. But that's borderline beating on the car, top speed blasts, using mainly 4 gears, etc..
That second tank where I got 27 is still just my regular commute, with some hooning thrown in just far less than usual. Had I not done 120mph one night I could have gotten over 300miles. On a long trip I think I could easily gwt close to 400 miles on a tank.

4.4 miles per kWh.

Sounds like your car sees plenty of action at least. Probably the only reason my Panther gets similar economy is because it coresses you to stay under 2,000 RPM. When you really give it gas, of course it revs, but if it could talk it would be saying "Please no, I just want to cruise...let's slow down..."

My car desperately wants to be over 2500rpm. Around 2000rpm or under is the sweet spot for mileage, but not for going anywhere in a hurry.

Kinda hard to see but 1600 rpm at 65 mph (gets 29 mpg at 65, 27.5-28 at 70, 26 at 75). lolwut.

I'm turning closer to 2.5k at 65, I think, but the dash indicates over 40mpg when cruising like that, mid 30s on the low end. It's when you have to get going from a stop that kills mileage in this car.
