that might help. i was thinkin, its about 14 mpg, which isnt really low teens, but its lower than i would have expected. i guess i do alot of accellerating then alot of stopping, i hate my commute to school. theres a nice 6 mile stretch where you can go as fast as you want, then theres a 5 mile stretch where youre lucky if you reach 15 mph, and alot of traffic lights.

I drove to Albany not too long ago and on the trip computer, my average mpg was 28.1 for the entire trip (all highway)

I've gone on the highway and gotten 27mpg, so I'm not too concerned.

I get 23-24mpg normally and that is about 60/40 highway/city. On long highway trips I'll get 26-30mpg.
What are you guys talking about with summer and winter gas? I feel like I am missing something here....I always put super (93 octane) in.

In New York from October 1 throungh April 1 they put MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether ) in with the gas to cut down on the green house gases. But it kills your gas mileage.
This is a link for what they say it does
http://www.epa.gov/mtbe/gas.htm
On January 1st of next year they will switch to Ethanol. Which we will have to see what it does to gas mileage.
