My S8 gets about 21 highway and 16 city based on simple miles / gallon checks, which vibes with the EPA ratings and the OBC. It's not great, but I'll take it for a full size AWD car with a 360 HP V8.
No, you're right. I just did the reverse math and if we're getting around 300 miles on a tank and we put in 19 gallons, that's only around 16 MPG. I'm not sure what it get's on the highway as I don't believe we've ever taken it on one.
