I bought it about 3 months ago with low miles and I just read where the original EPA mileage rating for the car is 18 city/24 highway. I am realizing 28.1 to 28.5 on the last 3 tanks driving 1/3 in town and 2/3 freeway. I'm shocked because I never owned a car that actually exceeded the EPA rating. I figure I could probably eek out 30-31 on a long highway trip.

Comments???...your mpg experience???

PS: running 89 octane Chevron

thanks....Kevin
