EPA Gas Mileage Estimates?
The window sticker on my `07 gives the EPA Estimated MPG as 23 (city) & 32 (Hwy). I was curious to see if these number had any relevance and at what speed. The City rating is somewhat ambiguous but the HWY rating can be calibrated with the vehicle speed. Resetting the MPG monitor I drove the car at 65 mph (2500 RPM in 5th) and got 32.2 mpg and at 70 mph (2750 RPM in 5th) I got 28.3 mpg, both averaged over about 5-10 miles of modest terrain in central NJ with the cruise control on. The car is only two days old with 600 miles so I was impressed as this is better than my ten year old Miata. Anyone have numbers to compare?
