About 24 mpg over 530 miles. Probably a 80/20 highway/city mix. Since it is in the break-in period, I have been driving it like an old lady.

I calculated my values manually using a calculator, and then compared them to the trip computer values. It seems to be accurate in this area ...

I'll also mention that my 19 MPG in city driving most done mostly in Sports Shift mode.

i averaged 17 mpg (i drive all local).... then my family and i took a road trip to San Antonio 250+ miles? (30MPG)..... and now that we're back im averaging 16 mpg again. And i do drive pretty hard too, which is why im getting such low fuel economy.

i reset the trip before the san antonio drive and after we got back.

Around town I get about 20-22 mpg. On the freeway, between 28-30 mpg. A bit on the lower side due to winter gas. Should be about 10% higher during the warmer months.

One thing that makes a difference in mpgs will be if you drive with your AC on or off. I always turn mine off unless it's raining or really cold.

I have been getting around 24 mpg. That is using the computer to figure it out. I checked it myself and I get pretty close to the same thing.

About 23 overall, with 32 on the freeway! My calculations agreed closely with the trip computer when I filled the tank.

Trip vs. real mileage seems accurate

I did a round trip to Pueblo last weekend. I-25 is almost all posted at 75 MPH. According to the trip computer I averaged 32 MPG. Actual calculation was just over 30. However, the actual calc is based on a 3 gallon fillup, so it could easily be off. In a nutshell, I'd say the trip computer is pretty close.
