Yesterday I filled up at $2.26  , but my calculation showed 26.3 or something above 26, not sure of the exact number, and I wasn't exactly kind 100% of the time. There was some fast acceleration and speeding, but this is how I've been all year so I think it's good. I take this to mean that summer blend has hit our region, upper midwest, again and we'll all start to see an improvement soon.  My rolling average, since March 2, 2008 is currently 25.289. I've gone 14828 miles on 586.335 gallons. If anything the combined rating, for me is spot on accurate. It does do a good job of evening out the differences that are inevitable from tank to tank. Overall, with my combined average, over the course of a year and a couple of months, being as close to sticker as it is, I'm happy.

In the most recent 900 miles, my trip computer says we've averaged 26.7 mpg. This is on our 2008 EXL navi 4 cylinder 5 mt. About 70% city and 30% hwy. Not bad, imho. Course, it's spring, and so we're not using the ac much. In summer I assume it will go down a couple of mpg. |

| Very pleased with my mileage. Currently averaging 24.632 on my first 5 fillups of the new car. My last fillup just registered 27mpg. Most of my driving is a 50/50 split. I'm more than happy with the power this car has and getting this kinda of mileage. I'm higher than the combined EPA which is great! I'm pretty confident I can get above 30mpg on a pure hwy trip. Most of my driving is in the ECO mode which helps. I'm getting more used to VCM and who knows how much of a difference it makes, but the mileage is going great for a new car. I expect it to get marginally better as it breaks in. | |

Replying to: blufz1 (May 24, 2009 8:47 pm) Do you mean subtract 2.5 for the ethanol - ? It is my understanding that Ethanol is 30% less efficient than traditional gasoline.

One more tank and this one was a record for distance. 647.7 miles. This was over 8 days including all my running around town for that time, and included two trips. One of about 125 miles round trip and the other about 430 miles. The second leg of the 430 mile trip was from Bismarck to central SD and I averaged 47.0 for the entire 220 mile day (a few miles of city as well). My average speed on the trips was about 60 mph (mostly two lane rural roads) and I did not use AC. Temp was about 68 to 74. Overall. 647.7 miles 15.60 gallons = 41.5 mpg The fuel light came on at 608 miles. I also think I overfilled a little as the scangauge indicated 42.4 for the tank and I put in 1.2 gallons after the pump clicked the first time on the slowest fill setting. Lifetime is gong to crack 34 for the first time real soon. It is 33.96 right now. 10 tank rolling average is at 36.9 mpg 2007 I4 SE MT 40 psi and Mobil 1 0w-20, 62,000 miles.
