Good or bad on gas?
Curious to know what others are getting for fuel economy with V6.
Best average I've gotten so far is 18.8 US miles per gallon, (12.5L/100km) or 22.6 imperial miles per gallon.
Most times before this, however, I was averaging 15L/100km, or 15.7 USmpg.
Yes, much comes down to driving style, but averages might be revealing.

I have about 1000 kms on mine...and I didn't reset it when I took delivery.
It shows 14.1L/100km (came down from 30.0 on day 1). About 80% city driving.

About 16.6 mpg @1200 miles. The remote start and corn fed fuel probably don't help much, would expect better numbers this summer, I hope.

Depends, if I drive and try to keep the 'ECO' light on I get a minimum of 17 mpg up to about 20 mpg, but if I drive my normal style I see it drop to 14ish. I do a lot of short stop and go driving so it really cuts down on my mpg's. I also noticed that the 4R is a lot better if you let it warm up for a couple minutes, it seems to like more fuel when cold. I can't complain, my old Durnago was 10mpg in town and max of 14mpg on the highway  (@ just under 1k now)

i'm not happy averaging 16-17 miles per gallon here in NJ. I drive normal too, and my commute is 20 miles each way so I'm doing a lot of highway driving and 50% of that is cruise control. I hope this is the winter formula doing this and maybe it will get better come the spring/summer time. hopefully.

I am getting 17.6 with 2k miles, about %75 city, usually with about 500 pounds and most morning I will start it about 10 minutes before I leave. Not much eco mode accelerating
I did get much better on a short highway trip.
I am curious to see if mpg increases any (1-2) with a higher octane fuel

Me too.
I let it warm up twice a day for 20 mins. each time. I have about a 90 mile round trip. Back roads half the way, with a couple of lights...then 25 miles on the Palisades Parkway...60-70 mph. 3400 miles on the odo.
I'm going to try high test next tankful.

I'm just curious, are you guys using the computer's number on MPG or calculating it yourself?
If using the computer, is it more accurate then the 4th gen calculations?

I've read that there is no reason to let the car warm up. Just don't beat on it until the engine has reached normal operating temps.

ok..well I'm old...and spoiled....and extremely moody if I get in a cold car 
So, in order to maintain some sanity...I let that beotch warm up (and besides, I didn't get the heated seats, which is probably the ONLY thing I miss from the last 3 vehicles), but love the remote start!
On a more serious note..I had a 1991 Cheby 3500 w/ a 5.7.....and it had 275,000 original miles on the engine when I got rid of it 6 years ago...and I warmed it up every time it was cold (below35) and always plugged it if it got below 20. Needless to say it's still around town, my buddy says with the same engine!!

I just rolled over 1000 miles and I think I'm between 16.9 and 17.8 most of the time. TONS of hils where I live (Carroll County, MD) so it's hard not to suck gas.
However, tonight I had my E-Rated 265/70/17 DuraTracs put on. I'll keep you posted as to how they affect mileage...
...but damn they look badass!

Every time I've verified it with pencil and paper, the display has been accurate to within one tenth of a gallon so I've stopped checking the mileage manually.
