Imperial (Canadian/British) or US gallons? Imperial gallons are a lot bigger and falsely inflate economy figures.

Yeah, a 42 mpg average in this car is a little bonkers when not even a Scion iQ gets that.

Well now, there is egg on my face. That's what I get for using some online calculator. You're absolutely correct, the math was way off.

725 km = 450.494 mi
48 L = 12.6803 US gal

450.494/12.6803 = 35.5271 mpg

Hey, 35.5 mpg is still pretty solid.

I recently refilled a tank on a road trip from WI to MI.

I got 36.37 mpg. with 91 octane fuel.

This was with stop and go traffic for 30 minutes in downtown Chicago.

I have a manual trans.
