It gives a much better indication then A% city, B% highway.
If you really want, post all stats:
- average mpg this tank / lifetime
- average mph this tank / lifetime
- A% city, B% highway
- average outdoor temperature
- hyper-milling / normal with an occasional dash / spirited / pedal to the metal style
- anything else.......

Why you ask?
Well, my average mpg is way low, like 16-18 currently while my drive to work is 9.0 miles.
6.5 Miles highway US 59 S and I-610 N, which gives me 72% highway!
Yet my average speed is 22-28 mph at the end of a tank.
Now my bad mpg makes more sense doesn't it!?!

Still wish it was a bit more frugal though!

In the same boat as you, a pretty good mix of city/highway, getting around 18 mpg, if all highway abou 24mpg to 28 mpg, depending on how fast I am driving
