| I seem to be getting 23-24 mpg in the city (EPA 24). I get about 35-36 on the Highway (EPA 32)and I drive 70 or posted speed limit, not 60 like they do in the tests. I am VERY happy with the mileage and the car is peppy and passes well. I think too many people just love to hate American cars ( I have owned a few bad ones)and automatically downgrade the U. S. cars. Also, some raters seem to want race car performance - try setting your cruse control at 70mph on the interstate and watch the cars zip past you at 85-90 mph. No wonder their mileage is not so good! | |

I average around 24 MPG on my 99 Sebring with a fairly even balance of city/highway driving, if I keep under 65 MPH on the highway. Here is approximate mileage based on speed: 70 MPH = 20 MPG 65 MPH = 26 MPG 60 MPH = 28 MPG With gas approaching $3.50/gallon, cutting down on the highway speed makes a huge difference. Look at this example, based on my 13 gallon tank: Driving 70 MPH - 20 MPG * 13 gallons = 260 miles/tank Driving 60 MPH - 28 MPG * 13 gallons = 364 miles/tank Figure $3.20/gallon for gas (my last fillup), here is a per mile cost: Gas Cost - $3.20 * 13 gallons = $41.60 70 MPH - $41.60/260 miles = $.16/mile 60 MPH - $41.60/364 miles = $.115/mile To drive the same 364 miles at 70 MPH, it costs me $58.24. That's another $16.64 I give away to the oil companies. To take this to another extreme, $16.64/week * 50 weeks of commuting = $832 per year I potentially waste. I can think of many other ways to spend this money.
