fill tank, reset trip odo, fill tank again when empty (or close), divide miles traveled by gallons used for fill up.

Miles Traveled / Gallons @ Fillup = Average Tank MPG

I average about 19 in the city and 28/29 highway on trips. I drive like a maniac.

I took a trip from ATL to Ft. Myers, FL last weekend - going 80+ entire way, got about 28MPG. Pretty much as expected. Elise gets about the same.

Another tank of gas: 10 Gallons/ 311 miles so 31MPG, pretty much all freeway. Somehow I was expecting something closer to 34 or so...

Keep it close to speed limit or a tad under and you'll get 34

Nice! How many miles you got? I'm hoping my mileage will go up after the "break in period"

After 5 months and about 4,000 miles, my wife is averaging 34.8mpg, mixed city/highway. She is a tightwad and drives like there are egg shells under the pedals......:-)
