Hyundai has shared the estimated fuel economy of the Veloster N and its fairly comparable to what you'd find in other performance hatchbacks. Its been rated at 22mpg for the city, 28mpg on the highway and 25mpg combined. It looks like they've also managed to cut 200lbs from the i30N.

ECU tunes can sometimes improve these figures as well, through I don't know how much untapped potential there will be in the models equipped with the performance package. I agree that it probably wont be hard to shave off a few pounds from the factory wheel setup.
Hyundai Corporate or Hyundai dealers will need to hold track days to really let their customer base put the VN through its paces. Without, it won't be a true experience.
Only so much you can get from street/highway runs. Stretching a car and challenging it is what you do.

As of right now I am getting 16 MPG, I haven't been very gentle so far. I have a trip to Connecticut this weekend we will see how it does on a long hwy drive.
Ouch! I avg 26mpg in my 250whp/300lb tq in my fiesta st, and I am not easy on it! I really do want the Veloster N with the performance package. I love the looks and I really think Hyundai is on to something with the N branding.

well i live in alabama and have the non PP i like to do day trip to see other places i reciently went up to Nashville a round trip of about 200 miles i used that evil ECO mode just to see what kind of milage i could get i stayed between 67 and 70 mph and was so surprized i got 36.7 mpg . i thought about how i filled her up the second tank i little differecne in that si i believe i got between 32.5 and 35.0 mpg still quite surprized have done a few other trips and stayed pretty even at 34 to 35 mpg .I was a professional truck driver for a short while when i was younger and have allays liked driving long trips . had a 15 r-spec that i took on a trip to Los Angles last summer i got about 32 with the r-spec on solid highway driving so i am impressed alot .Have a good one guys
azycray! Interesting numbers while using the ECO mode. Thirty Six is surprisingly good..excellent even. From what I have gleaned from the I30N Owners Manual the ECO mode makes maximum use of the software to insure best mileage numbers..almost like having a smaller and less responsive engine. For example, rev matching is automatically turned off and not available in ECO mode.
I wonder if the VN with PP could do as well...mileage wise. According to the owners manual, Normal, Sport and, of course, N mode offer much more spirited driving...I guess if I could get 25 plus with a high fun to drive quotient I would be pleased enough...maybe this is unrealistic?
Can other current owners chime in on this...?

I have a little over 700 miles (5 60 mile trips and all the rest short 3 miles trips back and forth to work). The long trips were mostly 70mph +, several times up to 120+ mph for very short bursts. The short trips under 45 mph. I have an aggregate average of 23 mpg according to the car. I run 91 octane butr do not know what the dealer put in the first tank.

Driving in eco mode to and from work I was seeing 30 mpg. its a 50/50 mix of highway and city driving, roughly 35 miles round trip. Based on the instant mpg, driving in N mode doesnt seem to effect the mileage much but its hard to stay off the pedal with an exhaust like this lol. My normal driving in N/normal mode is around 23 mpg.
