I have a trip computer in the car, many cars do.

I can see the estimated real time and estimated overall average MPG.

I had this installed at the dealer after owning the car for a year. After installing it I drove like I normally do. I'm not a speeder but I do accellerate quickly at times when traffic and conditions allow.

At the end of the week, I was averaging 13.5mpg or so. The next week I drove more carefully and used cruise control. My mileage increased to over 18 mpg.

That was 18mpg of city driving. It's only rated for 15mpg city.

On the highway I keep it to the speed limit and maintain cruise control and I average 23 MPG or so. Much higher than what they estimate.
