I'm shifting a little late still and probably overrevving it at pullouts but after 239 miles my average mpg is 14.6. I think after a few weeks of adjusting I can pull that up to 16 but that's no fun at all haha. It's hard to avoid the temptation to hear that supercharger whine a little at 4000 rpms.
MPG will improve after full break in. Are you skipping gears at all? In normal driving I do 1-3-5-6.
