this. I can't help but think the same people who sometimes complain about mpg(not necessarily this forum, but in general) are the same people who launch their 5k pound trucks/suvs from every stoplight and wonder why they are getting 8mpg. Granted, our car is slow, but theres tons of times I would be what I consider accelerating briskfully, and the lady next to me in the suv/camry/etc passes me lol.
Our cars mpg vary quite a bit depending on driving habits, and its been pretty well documented here on the forums!
