I have an 013. I assume we're talking about the 4 cyl and not the eight. 13,000 miles on it now. After 700 miles took a trip and netted 29 going up and 30 coming back. Now this is doing bet. 50 and 80 miles as an average. Around town, doens/t matter what your driving, it's just not going to happen, good mileage that is. Original trip showed an awful lot of soot on the tips. Since then it's not so bad. Disappointed with speakers on the SEL. Have to replace them. Otherwise terriffic vehicle.

Very satisfied with my 2013 sel. Only problem is, is with my reverse sensing sytem. Camera works fine, sound doesn't. That being said, Can't complain about hgwy gas mileage, as far as the "soot" thing goes, I belong to the same club. Found what I consider a reliaable Tech. on "just answer". I had the question about why soot was forming on the chrome edges. I was told in was "normal", without getting into details, and since the vehicle doesn't use oil, what can I say!

Just joined the group. I picked up my 2013 in Aug. After 700 miles my wife and I took a trip of about 1000 miles. Going I got 29mpg, coming back, 30. Around town mostly with some parkway driving, my wife averages 20--21. Although I'm a conservative driver around town, on the road, I do my 70-75. So much for gas mileage.Was wondering how your reverse sensing system works as to the loudness when backing up and approaching an object. There is definitely something wrong with mine as its almost 'mute'. DB
