Great gas mileage!

Prius owners, watch out! Here I come! 40.2mpg!




That's after 8 miles on the tank!

But seriously, I'm getting 24mpg normally. I get 22mpg if I "love" the turbo and drive like a sports car - fast 0-60 and 85+ on the freeway. I can get 26-28mpg if I drive like granny! :D
Okay, something is terribly wrong here!! Consumers Report rated the Ascent at 14 mpg in the city, and (I think 32 on the hwy), and they do actual road testing. I am getting 20.1, according to the computer - as I watch the gas gauge drop unusually fast. And I am very gentle with my gas pedal......My next fill up is going to be done "old school" with a pencil and paper. I babied it coming home from the dealer (200 miles) and I don't think I got more than 24 mpg. Most people on the forum are griping about their gas mileage - so you have brightened our day.
