Default Re: Good mpg!

I got 17.9 on my last tank which included city driving in bay area for 2 days followed by a 2.5 hour drive towing the jetski on a trailer and then driving home. This included towing the jetski over a mountain and driving back over the same mountain with no jetski on the way home. I filled up around 45 miles prior to the end of the trip reset mileage and this tank hit 18.9 but is now at around 18.7. I think this proves just how much traffic sucks in my area. I had to leave the bay area at a time where there was no traffic to hit these numbers. But even with bad traffic I almost averaged 15 mpg according to the computer. I should manually check it and see how accurate it really is.

All that being said if I lived in country town type environment I think I could get high 16's to low 17's in town because there are less stop and goes.
