Hi,

Gas mileage is dependent on a number of factors. Your Driving Style, type of Traffic encountered (what mix of Free-Flowing vs Stop & Go), frequency of long periods of idling, terrain encountered, proper Tire inflation, frequency of use of AC, condition of Air Filter, condition of Motor Oil, condition of Brakes, quality and type of fuel, even if you drive Top Up or Top Down or using lots of accessories at once.

If you feel that your mileage isn't adequate, look into each of these things to see if any improvement lies there. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
