"People see from about 25 to 40 mpg, it is all on the way you drive the car. I drive mine like a bat out of hell, so I constantly see 27-28 mpg, and complain about it because I know people get better, but it's hard to change my driving style in a city where people run you off the road if you aren't moving as fast as they are".
