Re: My City/Hwy MPG ratio is upside down -- anyone else?
My city commute is about 3.5 miles across the city in rush hour traffic....and back on a cold engine. Followed 8 hours later by another 3.5 mile drive across the city in rush hour traffic...and back on a cold engine.
My City numbers are about 25-26mpg in the cold and 27-28 when it is warm.
My highway numbers are always above 30mpg. I tend to cruise at 65mph and get about 33mpg. My wife tends to push 75mph and gets about 31mpg. I've gotten as high as 35-37mpg on a 150 mile highway trip.
