Amusing in that AFAICT, most folks get BETTER mileage than
the data published for their vehicles. E.g., our vehicle is
("up to") 20/29 yet we've consistently averaged better than
the "20" in town -- despite the fact that the car claims
our average speed to be about 19MPH (over the last 10 months).
My trip to the local library this morning clocked in at 29.7
(no "highway" driving involved)
Where are you getting the numbers? Since you are talking a trip this
morning are you using what the car is telling you? If so, it is
probably wrong.
The last five cars (different brands) had the computer that gave you the
mpg of a trip and since the last fill up. I've checked the old method
of filling the tank and calculating. The car computer ranged from 2 to
6 mpg too high
In reality, it is very rare to really get what the official rating is.
Verified over hndreds of tanks of gas on many cars.
