Gas Mileage, What do you get?

I am averaging around town, 14.5 miles/gallon

Maybe I should buy a DD with a smaller engine to commute.

I'm getting around 24-25 mpg. Compared to my previous car ('97 VW Passat) which got 17 mpg, I'm ecstatic.

But then I remember I have to buy premium gas.

Since I got the new car I'm averaging 22.4ish.

If I run hard for a day, I can go as low as 17.

About 18, mostly city these days. bakaroo, your mileage would probably go down if you could go with a lower grade anyhow.
