If you get the fusion wheel tire combo it gets 33+ mpg.

Checking in here. I am constantly amazed at the mileage I am getting. 4dr heritage 7mt with 1800 mi on the odometer. Averaging 22 combined. More around town than highway recently. I do coast down big hills and try to shift out of 1st/2nd/3rd by 1900-2200 rpm, but aside from that I drive pretty normally.

You coast down hills? As in, put it in neutral? If so, that’s worse for MPG and your brakes.

If you’re shifting out of 2nd and 3rd around 2k, you’re lugging the shit out of it in the next gear. Higher RPM is safer and more efficient than lower RPM and more load/boost.

I lean forward when I drive, so I think it helps me get better mpg.

Uh, no? Explain to me how a numerically higher rpm is better for efficiency. Also...autos don't have engine braking really and they get along just fine with ya know, using the brakes for what they are for.

As for shifting...that schedule is EXACTLY what the 10 speed auto is trying to do. Riding the torque wave is proven by every manufacturer to be the most efficient means of accelerating a small turbocharged engine. I know what lugging is and I am not doing that. Obviously I adjust for conditions like hills and such. Also I am barely cracking throttle and I seldom if ever get into positive pressure when rowing gears from a stop. Maybe with the way you drive (it sounds like a lot more aggressively from a stop) winding it out works. But not for me, thanks.
