The computer's mpg, though, still seems to run a bit high compared to filling up and doing the math.

Replying to: coldcranker (Jun 27, 2008 11:38 am) I generally get 19.5 to 20mpg in all city driving. I usually get 22mpg in a good mix. I haven't driven more than 100 highway miles at a time despite owning the Freestyle for more than a year now. (My new baby stole my vacation money) I keep RPM's around 2k 90% of the time. The only thing I've noticed about my Freestyle is that gas mileage is affected by hills more than some other vehicles. I plan on taking it from KY to TX at some point. I'll be interested what gas mileage I can get being that the drive there is fairly flat most of the way.
