Thanks Wagner! :thumbup:

I just go off of what the computer says for mpg. Never actually calculated it out. I will think twice before believing what the computer says.

LMAO! :rofl: I tend to average 11MPG, some say I'm a maniac:rolleyes:

my 02 3.0 gives me 20.4 mpg average, havent worked out how to see individual trip milage, mostly used for hauling furniture around town and short highway work. I think thats not bad for such a big car, lucky for me that petrol is only 27p a ltr here...

my 2006 4.4 sport can get over 22mpg, but I'm thinking it could get more if I keep it at 60-65mph on the interstate - it easily gets 17-18 around town, but I'm not doing the commuter 'rush hour' thing anymore

If you're getting over 20mpg as an average, you're doing exceptionally well. Congratz :thumbup:

20MPG = 11.7L/100KM.

Wowh! That is really good, in Hong Kong, I can only reach 17L/100KM, which equals 13.8MPG. In Hong Kong, we drive 70% city and 20% highway and 10% stop-and-wait.

How near 20mpg are you really getting...19.9mpg or 17mpg? How are you calculating your mileage?

I just drove back from Florida to New York a couple of weeks ago and I averaged approximately 21 MPG, or 500 miles per fillup, cruising at 75 miles an hour. Unfortunately, around town I am only getting 16.4 mpg.

I am in the bay area right now, on the highways here, I am getting 25 mpg:wow: But driving through san francisco city, I am getting about 13 mpg.

Yeah, I've been there - mileage hurts because you have to make 3 right turns to do 1 left turn (no left turns allowed) :rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
