It might seem silly but I can't imagine how much worse the gas mileage can get on this car... so far I'm averaging about 12 mpg and that's mostly commuting (half highway)
I must not be driving my 50i hard enough. My overall average after 7000 miles is 16.4 MPG. I'm getting 15.5 in the daily commute and get 19-20 on the highway. Considering only 2000 miles is pure highway and 700 miles was a hard sporty mountain trip, the 16.4 is a good average.
