I have been conducting my own real world driving experiment. I have driven the car to and from work every work day since I bought it with some driving on the weekends. I have been posting my mileage on fuelly.com and here are the results including the car's computer milages.
9/18 30.6 MPG Econ on 32.1 MPG Computer
8/29 31.5 MPG Econ off 32.0 MPG Computer
8/13 30.5 MPG Econ off 30.8 MPG Computer
7/26 31.1 MPG Econ on 32.3 MPG Computer
7/14 29.2 MPG Econ on
Fuelly results were obtained by dividing the number of gallons purchased into the miles driven.
The car's computer displays some interesting differences. The car computer shows a little better mileage on two tanks with Econ on and one about the same with Econ off. The computed mileage doesn't seem to make any real difference.
Here is a photo of two trips to work today. The previous one is driving to work in the morning and the current one is returning home on the same route. The morning commute had less traffic than the evening but the difference in the mileage is tremendous.
Anyone have a good explanation of the differences?
