Granted, that was with ethanol-free gas (if you can find it, use it, it makes a surprisingly big difference), and only using A/C for a very small part of that.
Well the car is only rated at 28 mpg (I think) and that's usually a very best case scenario. I figured 26 over 3,500 miles of various conditions wasn't too bad.

I thought about doing that but didn't. I'll check my next tank and see how it compares to what the computer says. Thanks.
