I average 52 mpg all summer in mixed driving.. in the winter it is 47.5. i often think about after market leather and changing out the rims for something more sporty. happy with the car so far..its an 07 i bought in june 08 (gas was almost $4 a gallon and i way over paid for the car..oh well) with 15k on it..here it is feb 2010 and it just turned to 90,000 miles.. i havent done anything but change the oil. i drive 48,000 a year and get considerably over the advertised gas mileage, but there is a difference between the mileage in the summer and winter.
