Just rechecked my figures from the log book I keep in the glove box: highway mpg is 31. My bad...but still very good.

Let me ask you the manual says don't check mpg until around 3000 miles on the vehicle I'm on my first tank of gas mpg pretty bad but I'm not worry because I'm on the brake in time so hopefully it will improve, since you said you keep tracking MPG when is your mpg started to improve roughly or it was good from the get go?

Thanks!

26 avg on the whole tank with very varied driving ie:

80mph freeway (bad)22 mpg

55 mph back roads (best) 30mpg

towing a 7x14 trailer with two atv's (worst) 18 mpg

stop and go driving (23-24 mpg)

I managed 32mpg on E0 (no ethanol) fuel with an average speed of 70 on my trip to Miller Motorsports Park last weekend.

On the way back I switched to E10 (didn't have a choice) and managed 29 with the same average speed.

I'm going to switch back and forth a couple of times and see if that difference holds.

24 overall

May I ask how many miles do you have on your van ?

When did you notice the mpg was increasing?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting 290 miles to empty according to the computer on my second fil up, I don't have a trip comp on my van tocheck the MPG ,the manual says not to check mpg until 3000 miles I'm just hoping its gonna increase over time ,I drive like a grandpa and no load either in the back.

Thanks!

I have about 5400 miles, and according to my record book I'm getting a bit more than 1 1/2 mpg more now than I was right off the lot.

Thanks now I have 670 miles and stil getting 290 miles on a fill up mostly city driving and I'm driving slow I was hoping for better. I try to be patient hoping it will improve over time .
