Forgive me a little... This is my first poll. I'm mostly just curious. I'm getting (roughly) 19.78

There re many factors such as windows down is a big one. Try this on the hw drive with them down keep foot exact same spot on gas. Roll them up your speed should increase by like 5 mph or 10 forgot but it was alot.

yea, I think you might have the worst Miliage I have seen in a tib. I actually usually get more than the EPA says it should. With a combination of highway and backroads, I often get 31mpg or more.

turbocharging improves gas mileage and power output effiency. wink1.gif

that is if you drive it like a normal car, most people turbocharge their cars to dive fast. rolleyes.gif

we've done this before, but I think before the site was switched over. Most people get above 22MPG

I would suggest editing the poll to include 22-24, 25-27, 27+

I almost always get ~21 MPG but I drive my car hard, and could EASILY save on gas. I'm always running late and hitting 90+ on the interstate

I just filled up, and my last tank came out to 32mpg, mostly 35-65mph driving around town and a few highways. If you're getting under 20mpg and not flooring it incessantly, it's time for a major tuneup.
