Aye, I generally get 35 mpg and I drive like I have a lead foot. Plus I've got an automatic and almost always have the A/C or heat on.

+1

the new numbers dont mean shit. they've been overestimating for years (faulty test procedures), and now they're making up for it by underestimating. guess the EPA figures it'll work itself out through the law of averages. dumbasses...

Sorry to nitpick, but running the heater doesn't affect your engine (or your MPG) in the slightest -- unless it's with the defogger.

The defogger is a must with the heat on. Otherwise I can't see through the windshield.
