I want 42... I can't break 40 (39.86). I only have like 1,200 miles on my car though, so hopefully it'll go up as many have said it does before.

i'm still trying to break 45mpg on a single tank.... I came within .25mpg once. Temps are dropping now, think i'll have to wait until spring/summer to have another chance.

I only managed 41.59etc... yesterday when i filled up.
I haven't broke 5k miles yet though. I drive a manual and shift before 3k rpms. I also coast whenever i can. I don't go past 60mph either! Hopefully i can hit the 45mpg mark after i reach 5k miles. How many miles do you have to put on the car before it reaches it's full potential for mpg? |

I think we are judging the mpg for an entire tank, not just one trip....
Aren't we!? Well atleast I was! Obviously I will get great mpg on the freeway only. So I don't say i get whatever MPG that is. I have to do an entire tank of highway/city driving, then get my "real" mpg. |

Yea, only full tank MPG folks. I don't care that when you went down a hill you got 9999 MPG, or 45+ MPG when travelling on the highway; that's a useless number that any car can achieve... When DFCO kicks in I get infinite MPG, woot!

Whats DFCO? I've only filled twice so far and I got 35 mpg. How do you guys stand driving so slow haha. The car yearns for speed and I deliver it.
I thought about the coasting bit, so for my next tank I'm gonna aim for a high mpg goal.
