I only get about 13.4 miles per gallon (300km's per 55ltr tank) BUT......I do have a very heavy right foot (LOL) and most of it is only short distances.

Also, I use BP Ultimate (98 ron) fuel here in Australia, so I don't know if that makes any difference.

On a trip to South Carolina I got about 24mpg, but now I'm getting about 20mpg, or only one trip to and from Antlantic City. The way I look at it, its better than 14mpg that my wrangler got

Ahh more evos coming down to my neck of the woods.

I usually get about 18 to 20 driving around "town". I say town because every morning i get up to go to school and pull out of my apart and get on a straight two lanes in both way highway and make one left turn onto a even less populated same type highway for about 6 miles this goes on and then im at my hell whole. Even when i want to go to mc donalds, or taco bell or anything around here its pretty much all straight highways to get anywhere, rarely ever a single lane road.

^ The fuel gauge is just weird, more so than most other cars' gauges.

It seems to stay at one part for a while then it jumps down then stays there then jumps again. I notice my gauge saying at "full" for a while (40-70 miles, depending on whether I'm gunning it or steadily coasting on the highway) then it goes almost to the 3/4 line but stabilizes above it for a little bit, then it goes just barely above the 1/2 line and stays there and slowly moves below. But once the car hits the top line of the last 1/4, it goes by pretty quickly and the gas light comes on.

Starting with a topped-off tank (typically I let the pump stop itself then pull the "trigger" one more time till it shuts off), the needle is above the full line. DURING NORMAL DRIVING (not like a madman but not on the freeway either), I will reach the 3/4 line at 70-80 miles, the 1/2 line at 140-150 miles, the 1/4 line at 200-210 miles, then the bottom line (with the low fuel indicator on for a bit) at 230-240 miles. DURING FREEWAY DRIVING (reasonably conservatively, not going 90 mph with the A/C on), I will reach the 3/4 line at 90-100 miles (though I've seen 120), the 1/2 line at 180-190 (though I've seen 200), the 1/4 line at 230-240 (though I've seen 260), then the bottom line at 280-290.
