Funny, I get the same number. 20.4. No matter what I do, it always seems to center back on 20 - 21 or so. If I start out driving like an ass it's at 10-12, then I stop fooling around and when I get to work? 20.4

If I gas up, reset, and drive sensibly I can keep it at 30 on the highway, but after not monitoring it for a while it creeps back down to 20 - 21 MPG.

I do find that premium (93) gas imporoves my mileage slightly, as does trying not to stop.
