Some people do quote mid 20s, but I never saw that in mine, not unless I was driving at 50mph with the lightest of throttle. If I accelerated hard the instant-mpg-ometer would go down to 5mpg!!!
On average dan, according to my computer, I was averaging mid 20+ most of the time, but one, our lass drives it 99% of the time, and doesn't go over 2.5k revs, two, I don't think the computers are that accurate, and three, I've seen my mpg-ometer at 3mpg, at full throttle in second gear
