miles

Mine all usually get around 20-22 mpg in mixed, and usually decidedly enthusiastic driving. On the highway they should achieve somewhere around 25-26 in my experience.

An important item that will affect indicated mileage and actual fuel economy: what size tires are on the car? Many of these cars have incorrect or alternate tire sizes now.

They should be 195/60-15 or 185/65-15 tires- with any other sizes, mileage numbers are invalid.
