Hello all.
Newly purchased V6 convertible. Getting ~16 MPG in mixed driving. All of 400 miles on the odometer. That seem a tad low to anyone else?

This is exactly right.I agree with the guys that talk about giving it time to break-in..
If you drive it rather aggressively the first few thousand miles, it will give you a better piston ring seal and that alone will yield a much higher MPG after it is fully broken in. When I say aggressively, I am not talking about beating on it. Just relatively strong acceleration from a dead stop alone will increase the cylinder pressures and will seat the rings better.
This is exactly right.
Don't even worry about MPG figures until your car is over 5-10,000 miles.
Whatever you do, do NOT baby a brand new engine! Your rings will NOT seal correctly and the engine will always suffer from poor (under performing) performance.
I really LMAO at your avatar!I really lol at the 10k to properly seat rings.
