Depends entirely on the commute, stop and go tanks the mileage in this thing, I gave up my long commute and my mileage has nose dived since I'm on city streets instead of smooth flowing freeways (even though they were slow) so my mileage looks terrible but I went from filling up 4x a month to 2x a month roughly speaking.

I used to get high 20's and low 30's really consistently, now I'm low 20's. Although sticky tires and a heavier right foot surely have played a part.
