Re: 23.7 average....
Well, I just came back from a 600 mi round trip and I got 25 mpg in my Caddy.
I get 18 to 20 mpg in town.
I am ok with my mileage

Re: 23.7 average....
My combined millage is around 23.9 so I think your fine. I get around 435 miles out of a 18 gallon tank. I would suggest a seafoam treatment and tune up. Tire pressure is important too, I keep mine at 38 PSI 3 pounds above recomended.

Re: 23.7 average....
Mine averages 27.7, including an 82 mile round trip commute. That's with the listed mods, primarily interstate, but crossing a portion of the Appalachians every day. I seriously dig this car.

Re: 23.7 average....
23.7 Average? I'd say that is Very Good. Everybody's average is different here. Mine is a bit higher since I do mostly highway miles and drive like an old man......wait a minute.....I AM an ol' man!!! Anyway, don't worry, be happy.

I get about 11.5 in my C3. But then again, I might as well just bolt the gas pedal to the floor boards.

Ok sorry, this is something I have to point out. Do you realize the guy who sang/wrote that song "Dont worry be happy"...actually killed himself? Im not laughing at the fact he killed himself, Im lmao at the extreme irony
And yea, 23.7 doesnt seem too bad really, my car gets HORRIBLE mileage, still trying to fully get why

Re: 23.7 average....
I get about 25mpg average and 29 on long highway hauls.
What is killing me is not my mileage but the cost of GAS! I just saw a news clip on Saturday that they speculate $7 per gallon USD if Obama wins the elections because of his environmental tax plans. That was very depressing to watch as these gas prices are killing my household budget! My wife and I are spending just over $900 a month on gasoline for our commutes to work and any driving on the weekends. A little over a year ago it was 1/2 that much!
