    What do you drive and what do you get for fuel mileage?

    I'm on vacation right now and I have been tracking my fuel mileage with an app on my PlayBook. In my 04 Mazda Tribute we started the trip at about 22 mpg highway. I wanted to push it up a bit and we ended up hitting 23 mpg. We get about 16 mpg city avg.

    I drive an Audi A3 1.9tdi and i get 55-60mpg. When i had my Evo i got around 20mpg if i took my time but if i put my foot down it'd be about 7-10 mpg.

    Damn that's good. I don't know why I wrote the numbers I did. I was trying to hit 23 mpg. We hit 30 mpg on one quarter of a tank. We did 24.7 on the next. We had an average of about 23.7 for the trip.

    How do you like the A3? If you drive enough you could be driving that for free with the gas savings.

    I love it! Ive got 2 small kids so its ideal for what i use it for. I do 100 miles a week going to work and back so it doesnt cost much.

    I have an F150 and on the normal city driving I am hitting close to 18 MPG, but on the highway I managed to get the MPG up to 24 and that was a great feeling because I only had to fill up when I reached my in-laws!

    I drive a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2.4 litre six speed manual transmission...now I don't track highway vs city, but I do know I am getting about 24/mpg. I am happy with this kind of mileage for an SUV.

    I'm driving an '06 Saturn Ion. I thought I was supposed to get great mileage out of this car, but it doesn't seem like it. i haven't actually tracked it, but since this is an economy car, I figured I'd only have to gas it up maybe once or twice a month. Definitely is not the case.
