Don't forget those in the USA will show a lower MPG than Europe as the Imperial Gallon (Europe) is 20% bigger than a US gallon.
Your sig doesn't show your location so if you are in europe just add 20% to any US figures or if in US x0.8 any Euro mpg figures.
I have a heavy right foot?
so get around 16mpg around town and short congested fwy commute.
For those in the US make sure your OBC is set to US gallons as mine wasn't and I thought I was getting 19mpg until a software update and setting was switched from Imperial to US gallon.

These cars are meant to be driven hard...so if you want to ruin your day you can worry about the fuel consumption. I got 15.5 mpg on my last tankful of uh "spirited" driving...and I loved every mile of it.
