What are the Gas Mileage figures?

I’ve searched and don’t think one person has mentioned or referenced any gas mileage figures. Anyone have a clue?

I have not seen anything anywhere about it myself but will guess it would not be great. I am also assuming premium gas will be required. I am going to use this car as a weekend get away car and not a daily driver so the mileage won't be an issue.

Bmw inline 6’s usually give great gas mileage. Somewhere in the 20’s for city, low 30’s for the highway.

I would say something like 21/31 if not even better since the last gen 340i was going for 22/32 with people averaging 23 to 24.

Toyota Made The Supra Fuel Efficient Without Even Trying

Build the best sports car possible was the main goal.

In today’s world, fuel efficiency is what drives automakers. Literally. Global governments are imposing stricter standards than ever and the race towards all-out electrification has never been fiercer. Toyota helped inaugurate this new era when it launched the original Prius hybrid 22 years ago. But the Japanese automaker took a somewhat different approach when developing its reborn Supra sports car.

We sat down with its chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, better known as Tada-san, at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and the subject of the coupe’s fuel efficiency came up. While we’re still waiting for official EPA figures to be announced, some reports suggest it will have 21/30 mpg city/highway, while we can also get a rough idea based on the EPA rating of its platform mate, the roadster-only BMW Z4 that returns 25/32 mpg. To compare, the Porsche 718 Cayman S returns 19/25 mpg while a base trim has 21/28 mpg. Meanwhile, the aging Nissan 370Z is rated at 19/26 mpg.

But Tada-san made it quite clear to us he had other things on his mind throughout the coupe’s development. "We really focused on coming up with a pure sports cars which means very good handling,” he said. "So in that sense we were quite decisive in determining what we focus on and what we don’t. We did not have any fuel efficiency objective.”

Tada-san paused for a moment and then said: "I didn’t even think about it (fuel efficiency), actually. I’m not sure but I’m not really concerned about the answer.” And yet the Supra has pretty darn good fuel efficiency. Nice how that works out.
