So, I have had my 2018 Eclipse SE for 1 month now, 1800 miles on it. I drive almost 100 miles a day. 45 miles one way to work, thru Chicago suburbs, not on the express way, a LOT of stop and go traffic. A few days ago on the way home I was able to average 31.0mpg

I did this with ECO mode OFF. I really cant stand driving with Eco ON. I think ECO probably turns off the turbo charger. To get 31.0mpg, with ECO off you have to drive very conservatively but it still drives better than with ECO ON. Someday, I will make a roadtrip and the expressway and then I can see what I can get for MPG, but overall I am pretty impressed.
It has been a bit of a transition for me though, I used to drive a Mini Cooper, and I can tell you I did not care about mileage there, performance was the madness!!!!
So what kind of mpg are others getting?
