2013 Kia Optima

Total combined city/highway since purchase 1 Feb 2013 28mpg.

34+ when strictly highway (with cruise on) & 24 when strictly stop & go, light-to-light city.

Overall, I can't complain.

My C5 gets 31 MPG at 70 MPH. That all changes BIG TIME if I'm driving aggressively.

Wow!

I had an '05 Altima that always got 21-23 in town, 30+ on the highway but consistently 28mpg overall since I got it - it was my daily commuter. I traded it in on my '13 Kia Optima, which is now my daily commuter (mentioned above).

Define "Agressive" = Turning the ignition key instead of coasting down your drive to town?

95 Acura GSR=31 MPG Toyota Turbo MR2= 28 both Premium. Don't know for the Honda Micro Truck but

I filled it four months ago 8 Gallons and so far it has been 450 miles and it says there is a quarter of a tank.
To be fair it is a KEI Class 4X4 with a 3 cyl under the bed. Runs like a top and I've had it up to 50MPH it's supposed to be a Farm Vehicle slow moving but a friend in South Carolina drives his every day to work (on a slow moving vehicle triangle posted on the back, like those you see on a tractor)and says it gets 65MPG His Suzuki Carry runs on a Farm Plackard rather than a license & has had his 7 years, I'm not quite that adventuresome I go to Costco 12 miles away and around here picking up things for the Farm. Read I always have a roll of wire fencing in the bed to keep the Faux Cattle in the yard. Have not been stopped yet. Every time I use it there is a note offering to buy it when I come out of Costco. It is 10 Feet long Cab Over style & 4 feet wide as it is 4 feet tall. Blue with bucket seats & 12" wheels. Most of the parts are from the early 90's hybrid 3 cyl and old civic and 800's It is a Kick to drive tho I am way too tall@5'10"
