Default Re: Average Gas Mileage

When you guys say 75% highway, is that actual mileage or time driving. I spend 90% of my time in the car driving city, but it accounts for 50% of my mileage.

My three year running average is 21.7 at 50% city miles, that is two weeks of a 10 mile commute and one 200 mile weekend highway trip.

High was 27.8 all highway for 1500 miles. Low was 17.6, a winter month of all city.

As I have said before, I am amazed by some of the very high MPG's reported here. Maybe they have those fuel line magnets or that vortex thingy. Maybe they changed tire sizes and have not adjusted for odometer error. Maybe they are amazing drivers. Maybe they don't log numbers long enough to get a real rating. Maybe they are from the UK and reporting miles per Imperial gallon. Maybe they are all Hyper-milers, even tried that for a while, not worth it.

Still amazes me that this is the only car, that for some, beats the EPA ratings on a daily basis.
