V6 Gas Mileage Anyone?
It seems like i'm not getting as many miles per gallon as i should but maybe its just my imagination? What kind of mileage do all of my fellow V6 drivers get? I only get 22MPG it just seems low?

Haha, I'd love to get 22. The best I have seen in mine is 18. I have a super heavy foot and love to take off fast. I know it's my own fault but I didn't buy this car for gas mileage.

I get about 17.5 avg because I book it when im on the road. 22 seems about accurate if you are driving normally.

What type driving? I have averaged as low as 17.5 and as high as 31. It depends on what type driving you are doing and where.

I was averaging 24 mpg, but now it's not my daily driver so short little trips close to home have brought my average down to around 20 mpg. I'm only putting about 150 miles a month on it now so it's ok.

22 sounds about the same as what I usually get. 15 minutes to work and back mostly.

On a good day I get 17.3; usually its only 17.1 - I do alot of city driving but am guessing I must also have a heavy foot cuz WTF? I still drive some interstate too!

My daily drive - 20 miles round trip to work. Combined city and highway. Moderately fast take offs most of the time (sometimes, not so moderate.) I get about 20 mpg.
Taken some highway trips over the last nine months.... Interstate toll road - 65-68 mph, I got a whopping 30.8 mpg Interstate - 70 mph, I get 29.5 mpg Interstate - 72 mph, it drops to 27.5 mpg. What's funny is if I drive 80, I still get 27.5 mpg. City, stop light to stop light, about 17mpg. It seems like 65-68 constant highway driving is the super sweet spot for fuel economy. Acceleration just kills it (but who's complaining about 17 mpg in a car like this?).
