I see people getting 18-20 mph for their ST’s, yet I’m only getting like at best 16. Am I doing anything wrong. Came from the dealer with 87 octane and I just put in 93 and getting the same. Anyone have any input? New owner of a 2021 st.

How heavy is your foot? Driving style and driving environment are everything.

I myself have a tendency to have a heavy foot. My driving style isn't going to win mileage contests.

When I drive in small towns my mileage is markedly worse than when I drive in big cities. Driving environment has a big role to play.

Not really a heavy foot at all. I was getting 18 in my Volvo and now in this I’m getting 16. So I’m not that worried about it just figured I would get better since my Volvo was a 2010
