Default Gas mileage...

Pretty happy with my mileage on a recent trip. Went to my dad's place which is about 25 miles from where I live. I was back and forth 4 times that day and got 100 miles out of 1/4 tank. Anyone else take any trips recently?

I don't know how many miles, never usually let the tank under half. However I do know I average high 18s all city driving, fairly aggressive.

Pure City I get at least 230 but usually about 250. And I don't go easy or hard... DOD doesn't help in the city really at all.

During the summer I set the cruise at 65 mph (no a/c on), a hilly expressway and I reset the avg. fuel economy as soon as I got to 65 mph. It is about a 30 mile trip on strictly e-way and I averaged 31.2 mpg for a strictly expressway drive. 70 mph same e-way 29.3 mpg. combined city and highway about 22 mpg
