Default fuel mileage

Hi All,

I am curious as what gas mileage everyone is getting, I dont get closeto what is advertised 18/25, I only get around 15city/highway in my 05 v6 vert auto !Thank god my employer pays my gas. 87 octane is 4.40 cdn$/gallon which is about 3.84US! I stand corrected.


EDIT: Fixed typo in subject line - 28HopUp

My display shows 20.7 average and i average 300 miles per fill-up. I usually wait until the warning 50 miles left comes on before filling up.

I had the same issue with my '06 V6 auto not getting what is shown either. After replacing the battery after it went totally dead on me, I have seen my gas mileage increase to 19city not hit the highway yet. Went from 330 miles to 350 miles to empty with new battery on the readout.
