I get 8 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. I don't mind.

I record every fill-up, use GPS mileage compared to vehicle odo, divide gallons into the miles and have gotten as high as 21.5 and as little as 11.3 with 15 being my average.

Ethanol in the fuel hurts the mileage, Regional fuels vary in qualityc also affect the mileage, and my style of driving hurts my mileage too. I'm not changing, but expected more from this V6.

Tidewater Virginia - near the ocean and bay, so it's all flat.

Summer trip to Tampa was the best mileage with the 21.5. Down I-95 to I-10 and some highway down the center of Florida to I-75 into Tampa. 12 hours if I drive straight through.
