Thread: why am i getting the mpg that i am????

Well, I’m just throwing this post out in hopes you don’t chase a ghost for the next few weeks. First off your car seems to be getting very average mpg for what it is. 29mpg hwy and 14mpg for your stoplight to stoplight commute is reasonable. Think about it, your car is about 14 years old and it is a little tired. Also, you bought a mid sized car with a supercharged V6, that is basically engine speak for V8.
Consider this alternative, save yourself the 23 cents in gas by walking to work.

Evein driving in NYC my car gets better than 14mpg. I have trouble thinking it's old and stoplight driving is doing the 14mpg. But then when my car was built and I went on a smoke the tires from every light day..I still got 16mpg.
