Making conscious choices to drive gas-sparingly, I often get over 400 miles per fill up. |

A complete pig. Yes, we were doing mostly urban assault driving but 14.8 MPG (according to the trip computer I reset when we drove away - did not calculate actual mileage since it was a rental and do not know how full the tank was when we received it) is pretty deplorable. |

So far city driving is at 14 mph - hoped for better |
