I'm getting 26-27mpg as of now. I usually peak in the spring/early summer around 28-29mpg. I've hit 33/34mpg a few times. :drool:
I'd say I'm doing 90% highway/10% city driving. This is on a V6 atx.
I'm pretty stubborn with my driving habbits. Put it simply, I drive like grandpa: Maintain 60-65mph, engine brake, and slow acceleration from a stop. My friends make fun of my driving, but at $2.80-$2.90/gallon, I really don't care! :shrug:
With 83k+ miles, I really can't complain as I'm getting better than EPA ratings on the car brand new. Also, I plan to do another UIM/LIM cleaning this summer as it has been 2 years since I last did it.
IMHO fuel economy is due to three factors: The most important being driving habits. Secondly, fuel quality: Some dispute it, but I find that BP usually yields better fuel economy for my car. In some cases, I've had drastic delta factors of 5/6mpg just b/c of the fuel station. Of course this can be subjective since the local stations that yielded poor fuel economy may not be up to their maintenance records. Thirdly, maintenance of the vehicle itself.
