Cool

Computer says 19.6 average over 11,000 miles. On open Hwy easy 22 mph. Mostly drive of San Diego Freeways which are kind of stop and go. Very happy with mileage.

I tend to reset the number every few weeks, and it averages around 20.9. Driving is split between highway (~85) and side roads (~55) in D with around 13k on the car. Not bad at all.

I'm getting about 17.2 with a mix of city and highway. I'm pretty heavy footed.

I reset every tank of gas. I average about 20.5 mpg. That is 60 % local and 40 % hwy.

All local around 18mpg. All Hwy around 25 mpg.

With ECT Power on, I'm getting 22.8 MPG in about 60% Highway/40% City driving. Oddly enough, with ECT Power off, I was getting 22.3.

I have reset the mileage computer several times, but the above figures are quite representative of how the mileage is working out. A friend of mine had suggest trying ECT Power On because her car had better mileage with it on. I tried it skeptically, but indeed, the car does about 1/2 mpg better with ECT on than off.

Its all dependent on how you drive the car. All I think the power does is keep the revs up a lil higher. Its not like it turns on an afterbuner. My point being with the power on it could merely be you driving the car differently.

I have just hit 1100 miles and haven't reset the computer yet. For a mix of highway and city driving with auto climate control on all the time (running the airconditioning affects gas milage) and I average 16mpg
