No it's not quite accurate, but honestly, this car has a pretty big mpg variance between the people that drive it. There's people on this forum who average 32-34 mpg. I tend to get 29-31. Some get 20-24. It all depends on where you live and how you drive.

Car and Driver got 32mpg going 75 on highway. But only 23 average if I understand the other figure correctly, and that's probably due to them winding it around a good bit.

Granted, this is MT they tested on.
