Default Average MPG

If you walk out to your garage right now and check to see what the average MPG is on your dash, what does it read? And no, I don't mean what you get when you're on the highway on a trip. What is your real world average MPG?

Mine says 20.1. What's yours?

My 08 coupe says 21.3, but it had 2 previous owners.

My records since I've had it show about 21.6.

I'm low 16's, but only have 750 miles on my new GS. Been keeping to back roads and in town cruising, keeping the RPM's changing. The DIC shows average speed under 30mph.

This is great info. I'm really interested in the real number that your DIC reads right now if you go out into the garage and look at it.

I'm averaging 20.8 which is disappointing since I am driving 70-75% of the time on the highway, Iv'e started using the cruise more just to see if I can get any improvement since many claim 27+ MPG on the highway. Using the cruise earlier in the week the instantaneous MPG was between 28 and 32 MPG. Unfortunately there is too much congestion on the CT highways and not a lot of opportunities to have the cruise on for any length of time but I didn't buy the car for phenominal gas milage anyway.
