I see your in Florida so your use of a/c has something to do with it but why don't you try 2 or 3 tanks of premium and see what happens

We usually average 28-30 mph since I started paying attention to it, and our lifetime average is in my sig. Seems to correlate with your results. I do know that if I visit my mom (who lives at the top of a huge hill) my mileage on that tank always takes a hit.

No, worse. Wilhelmina Rise and it's awesome 13% grade. That feels like you're going straight up! So steep it would overheat the clutch on the AP1 S2000. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35532641@N04/4294978350/

Definitely these numbers are somehow biased!

No matter how I drive, I don't get mpg worse than 5.9 l/100 km (~ 40 US mpg). I don't have any mods and I live in a hilly area which can be very demanding on mpg. Also, I have been using my CRZ for short trips mainly in town and a few long trips on the weekend (with air-con always on).

I will be moving soon, so I'll have a daily commute of 30 Km. Curious to know what my new mpg will be. Yesterday, I had a taste of it coz I drove there on a full tank and got 5.2 l / 100 km (45 US mpg). Looks promising!

More recent numbers. Red is 'bad' (under perform EPA); Green is 'good' (out perform EPA).
