The sticker says 33mpg city/41 hwy - but we'll see.  My husband was wondering if he'd get even better mileage just using the manual function instead of the automatic.  We'll have to experiment and see.

Although it's more fun to drive in manual mode from what I hear the best MPG is when you let the computer shift in automatic mode. If your in a hilly area, stick to manual.

All the best,

So what are you up to in MPG? Curious to hear real world results.

All the best,

Not sure yet - it just clicked down the 4th gallon and we're over 130 miles on the odometer.  I'll let you know how it is the first time we have to fill up.
