my first fill up was 10.6 gal. with 1 bar on, and i made 286miles with that. but fuel bar is really not accurate for me, sometimes with 70miles on odo, i only have have of bars left, but suddenly, about 3~5 bars goes up... i don think im gonna believe in bars...

I averaged over 30mpg when driving an AP2 somewhat mildly. 150mi trip on backroads (alternating between towns and 55mph limits...never drove much more than 10mph over). I got into the VTEC crossover probably 10+ times on the trip, but other than that treated the car nicely...

I generally shift between 3000 and 3500 rpms and I'm not accelerating hard in the mean time. I don't feel like I'm poking along either, I keep up with traffic for the most part but I try real hard not to keep pushing down on the gas peddle when the person next to me at that red light seems to be insisting on being in front. If they want it that bad, they can have it. It's not that big a deal.
Of course, there are other factors. I rarely drive in straight city traffic. I consider that at least 40% of my fuel burn is on the highway so my numbers are probably a little high compared to someone who spends 90% of their time on neighborhood streets or their equivalent. Still, at 20 city and 25 highway EPA estimates, I've consistently gotten way better than that. I don't really understand why but I'm not asking questions either!
Drive Safe,
Steve R.
