i hope it improves??? 24mpg is a bit low isn't it? i realize it's just my first tank.. but.. damn. oh well.. i'll just break it in some more.
That sounds right. I was averaging 24-26 mpg when i first got my car. Now I am doing 28-32 mpg. It could be a combo of engine break in and temperature. I am very happy with my mileage right now.

Going 80-85 and i get about 28. City miles are really easy to change just with shifting points and how hard you accelerate from the lights. I dont think people understand til you try it for a tank.
