I average just under 400 miles per tank.

I have a 8 mile backroad ride to the highway, 75 mile highway trip, and5 more in the city. Each way, every day.

Average 25MPG at 80MPH.

Best I can do is 32MPG but there are too many hills and I can't driveunder 70for long...

Hey people! we have a very big problem here. Look at the numbers from 200mpg to almost 400mpg, something is very wrong with this picture. Ok! If I go to the pump and fillup and the pump shuts off automatic, I get 180-200mpg and if I stand there and keep topping it off, I get 250mpg. I know this may sound dumb, but what if we all try to keep pumping gas in untill it comes to the top and then stop. And then see whats the difference in mpg. What you think? Maybe thats what we need to do

360 Highway, 300 City. The MPG on the message center reacts to the last 500 miles of driving. If you had the tank replaced they probably disconnected the battery and your starting over. Hopefully in 500 miles you'll be this same as you were.

I'm getting 23 MPG, all city driving. I rarely get it into 5th gear, except for occasional trips where I can set the cruise at 70, and I'm sure the mileage improves.

EPA Mileage Estimates: (City/Highway)

Automatic: 19 mpg / 25 mpg
Manual: 19 mpg / 28 mpg

Range in Miles: (City/Highway)

Automatic: 304 mi. / 400 mi.
Manual: 304 mi. / 448 mi.

I wish the EPA would never release those estimates. They calculate for the most rediculous highway speeds. Who drives 55 and 65???
