I get 20 MPG on Hwy and about 10 around town, cause I love the "whine". Bad right foot!!! That's by the tried and true miles over gallons, as the indash setup don't compute.

Me too. Mine was calculated the old fashioned way - by actual miles/gallons used at the pump during a 600 mile interstate trip. The car was packed with 4 adults, with luggage, and the a/c on during the summer. So, I suspect I might be somewhere in the 20's under normal interstate conditions - just me, and no luggage.
