Same here. It really all depends on what kind of driving you do. If your mostly highway your mpg will reflect that and vice versa with city driving. On the highway I get 30+ mpg but in the city I get around 19. All depends.
My daily commute is 35 miles on the highway. So my tank average is around 30-31mpg. When I mix in a lot more city driving or spirited driving my average MPG over a tank drops down to 25-26. Granted for TX2k this year I could go out and burn through 3/4's of a tank in just one night with all the wot pulls I did.
I've wondered the same thing....sometimes I think folks are lying (err stretching the truth).
Lying???? Lol. I get 30 on the highway and 19 in the city, if you take those and blend them it comes out to around 26.4. I don't know why anyone would lie about mpg's that about the dumbest thing I have heard
You can't be serious, people lie about all kinds of things; what would make this any different? I don't think they are outright lying (some might be, who knows), but I've without a doubt seen some stretching of the truth right here on these very forums regarding MPGs. People will do a 10-15 mile run on the highway right after resetting the trip counter and brag how they are getting 35+....
Because my mpg's are exactly what I stated, and it's impossible I'm the only one out of the 1000's of these cars on the road, plus others have posted the same as me and I'm not stretching 1 gallon, and yes people stretch thing, but who brags about mpg's????
You know my original comment was not directed at you, right? You're taking my general statement as if I was saying that YOU lied; that was not where I was going with said comment.
Another thing to keep in mind is if you have the performance pack that will hurt your fuel economy as well because of the 3.55 gear ratio. I do probably 60 percent highway and 40 percent city and average 23-24 mpg.
You would be correct on 31 if highway only. My daily commute is highway, and when I did not race or do test hits for over 3 weeks I averaged 30mpg per each tank, getting over 400 miles to each one. On a normal tank with all combined driving I do my average over the 5600 miles of the car has been 26mpg. Hope that clarifies what I posted earlier to folks.
