^^^ Though a little on the low side, about right within the range for your area (California) and temp (50-60F these days?).

These days I'm getting a terrible 15-16 mpg due to winter temp, (mine is AWD on top of that), and 100% city driving of the worst kind - short 1-2 mile stop-and-go trips when engine/tranny never reach optimal operating temps.

From LA getting 25.5 mpg with approx 73% highway with mild traffic. Without traffic I can get about 26 to 27 on a great day. Numbers are based of the dash reading.

I'm averaging about the same. I drive about 25 miles one way to work and on the way home traffic is pretty bad.

Seems like we're all about the same. Except for ya'll snow states. My commute is 44 miles each way, but against traffic both directions. But I only drive in 2x a week. And I only commute to Costco and the gym in the IS3.

All the running around is done in the Pilot with the fam
