Normal driving

Got ~380 miles out of one tank (+6000 miles on the car). When I topped it off, I put in 16.8 gallons..... The driving on the tank had a mix of highway and city driving.

Next week I have a driver's skills class.....wonder how the milealge will do on that day

I've gotten over 400 miles a few times already - I mostly drive on the highway to work and back though, over 50 miles round trip a day.

Well, 380 miles / 16.8 gallons = 22.6 miles per gallon.

That sounds about right for a mix of highway and street driving since the EPA estimates are 18MPG street and 26MPG highway.

Damn, I've been getting 450+ out of each tank, mix of highway and city. 100 miles per day back and forth to work.

I usually get a little less mpg (~20) due to a partial mountain pass up hill (spirited) drive home each day. Highway miles over the stop and go of city really make a big difference for the mpg though.
