Figure it out.
You're right. It isn't that hard.
How do all your mileages compare to rated? I know a lot of people complain that it is less, but my family always gets much better. Dad always taught us how to drive very conservatively (coast to red lights, avoid excess stops, etc.)
My '92 Corolla (auto) almost always gets 41 MPG on sustained highway trips, assuming the speed limit is 65, it drops off a bit higher than that. My '91 Camry is always upper 30s. But, that is driving like most people won't-no frivolous stops for food/bathrrom, reserved AC usage, windows up,
With an auto I can generally do what the listed is if not slightly better but with a manual I can easily beat the rated mpg (at leaat with teh 5 speed I can. With my Civic I have gotten 36-38 mpg for pure city driving which is more like the rated mpg for pure highway miles... It does not help the auto is a Chrysler minivan with a 3.8 L engine...
