I have every tank of fuel in my 6AT documented in my Owner's Journal original post.

Lifetime: 48,391 Miles Driven at 32.63 MPG

I'm a few tanks behind on the report, but it has been very consistent as my DD.

I sit in traffic and when the road is open I drive the car hard and average 28 MPG.

On the highway crusing I can get like 38 mpg.

I'm right at those same numbers...

I drive the car hard and average between 27-28 mpgs and can easily get 38 highway mpg when I take it easy on relatively flat highway.

Are you hand calculating?

Hot damn! That's what I currently get with my Hyundai Accent!

These little cars keep getting better the more I learn about them. I wonder how much an exhaust setup eats away at the MPGs, though?

Granny driving with stock tires I was able to get about 34mpg with 70/30 freeway/city.

Now with stickier/larger summer tires, several mods, and "spirited" driving, I get about 24mpg.

At 1 yr and almost 12K miles, I am averaging about 28.5 mpg (on the car's display). Most of this has been on stock summer tires.
