Actually, I believe the sticker says highway is 17. That would be the
best you could ever expect, not an average. I've almost done 17,
driving a steady 55mph on a perfectly flat road over a long distance.
As for regular city/hwy mix driving like I do to work everyday, I
average about 13.5 if I romp it at lights every once in a while,
occasional WOT, etc. I'll drop into the 12's if I stand on it all the
time and drive it really hard. If I baby it a little and drive like
it's an S-10, I'll get around 14.5.
