    Even more amazing city streets mileage!

    So today we drove city streets to the Superstition Mall and back home, about 46 miles round trip. Even ran the A/C on the drive back. Hit several red lights but tried to anticipate traffic and coast when I could, mostly 40-45mph. 62.9mpg!

    Nice! I've had a couple of trip mpgs break 60 but I've yet to get a great tank average.

    You know you're doing things right when you break 60 .

    It varies and is affected by several factors but in my experience my MID fuel economy gauge is a bit over 2 mpg optimistic.

    Ever since I got my Mirage I have been tracking my MID B fuel economy gauge results and comparing them to my fill-ups. Refer to my forum Fuel Economy Log for details. I reset my MID B gauge every fill-up.

    I've also tracked my B gauge and compared to actual calculated at fill up many times and have determined mine is about 1 mpg optimistic.

    Hot, dry weather and relatively flat terrain is certainly good for mpgs!
