I recently took a trip from Ohio to Colorado and back and kept track of my mileage for the entire trip. I averaged 27.5 for the trip. Not bad for driving 75-80 mph most of the way and not necessarily keeping off the gas pedal all the time (gunning it on the on-ramps is fun).
yep they get good, I get over 30 at 70 cruising, in town doing things like hitting 72 in 2nd today, then cruising in rush hour 65 , down to 40, back up again, 26.3 for 50 miles round trip..
yea def not bad, I get close to 30 on the highway cursing at 75, but my city kills, half and half mixed I average about 24, but then again I do have a lead foot

Is that per the onboard or is that hand calculated?
I use Hand and the Avg MPG gauge on car and eco feature on my 765 Garmin Nuvi and it comes out on all 3 the same, if one is off, it's like less then 1 MPG, 365 miles, used 12.5 gal that was daily drivin this week, not putting foot in it. What's that 29.2? Shell 87, I wish they had some Chevron or Texaco's around here, closest I found they were open one week then closed the next,
