    Really? That's what I'd expect from the TDI

    06 Volvo V70R wagon. 25/26mpg if mostly freeway or 22/23 if lots of city thrown in.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    My 07 Range Rover HSE Supercharged gets 15.9 with cargo box and lead foot. If I drive like most folks around 18
    My Astro vans for work get around 15 and around 9 pulling trailers.
    My wife's 11' Audi A4 gets 26mpg with her driving it
    I few years ago I had a 97 Jag XJ12 with the last 12 cylinder that Jag put out 15 highway/12 combined/ & 8 if I drove it hard.

    My dream car is the Fisker Karma. None of my cars get better mileage on a Vegan diet

    '12 Dodge Challenger - Overall since new is 23.2mpg but more recently with the motor all broken in and summer blend gas it's been running between 26-29. I just did a 1,000 mile test and it was 26.8. I do about 800 miles a week with 75/day hwy and the rest urban/suburban including all the way into downtown Manhattan five days a week.

    Wife's 09 Corolla xrs = 34mpg
    My (wife's old, soon to be daughter's) 98 Corolla = 36mpg
    My 2012 Tacoma = 21mpg. Only 5000km on it so it might get better once broken in.

    2008 Infiniti G35XS gets around 19 average. Thankfully my company pays for gas.
    My old 2002 WRX got about 23 in the same conditions.

    1999 4runner 3.4 v6 with a slight lift and one size larger tires rack and rocket box 17-19 mpg, but there might be an odometer error. It seems spot on with radar speed checks though.

    2000 outback 25 mpg

    2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i - around 27 but can't get out of it's own way.

    Maybe it's the altitude?
