  2. In mixed Driving <mostly city> I gotten 22.8 mpg averaged over the last 1500
    miles, 2004 elantra GT 5door. As most of this was NYC driving in traffic,
    its not bad. Straight highway using Cruise-control 36 mpg over a 200 mile
    run on open highways @65mph. I'm looking forward to some increase as I
    currently have 3800 miles on it, So I might see an additional 1-2 mpg
    increase over the next 5000 miles.

    I'm anal enough that I have tracked my mileage since we bought the car.
    Take a look at this pdf.

    Mileage has gone down in the last few weeks.
    That's probably because A/C and the wife has been driving it more - lead
    foot lol

  5. Also fuel here is 10% ethanol to meet clean air standards. The ethanol
    lowers mileage by about 4% from what I've read.
    Currently Reg. 87 octane is $2.299 gal. locally, down off a spike 10 days
    ago to $2.359 gal.
