Don't compare what you get to the sticker. Compare what you get to what you get in another similar vehicle. All EPA stickers are high. The EPA test its out of touch with todays driving habits.

Try to find the sweet spot in your car. That would be the spot where you have the best combination of mileage vs. what speed you want to drive.

You may find that you want to drive 75 on the highway but you can live with driving 65. Try driving the speed limit or 5 or 10mph below and see if you can live with that.

A lot of good economy comes from driving style. When I drive my HCH I get between 55 and 65 mpg when I drive for economy but when I drive like I don't care about economy I get 42. My EPA is 46/47mpg. Experiment with your car. Also if you can find a different route that has less stops thats obviously always a plus. Stop signs kill economy.

I hope you guys start to see an increase. Those SUVs sure do cost a bunch of money and it would be ashame to feel like your not getting your moneys worth.
