Is anyone else finding that the computer is consistently around 1.5 mpg optimistic? My previous car was a '12 GLI and over the 4 yrs I had it, it turned out to only be about 0.2 mpg pessimistic...

I think all computers are optimistic when it comes to calculating mpg... I usually do it by hand. 24.7 mpg on my second tank and I have to fill up today.

It absolutely is, my 2012 V6 was actually pretty much spot on. At most it'd be .2 mpg off. This one is consistently 1.0-1.5 MPG off. I track my fuel in detail so it's easy to spot how far off it is.

Was your old car a manual/auto, what is your current one?

Hah. Plenty of high mpg pics. But what about low mpg? Gotta take a pic but right now i'm working on over 140 miles with an avg of about 13mpg. No sitting in traffic or idling. Just lots of traffic lights.

This is my current city MPG with occasional aggressive driving, not letting people pass me, getting into races, going 70 in a 40, etc. My original intention was to see if anyone else also has good gas mileage, not see who can get the worst. I was pretty surprised with the 40 on my trip that's pretty good for a v6

This is the best average I've gotten so far (combined). Mostly city driving with some highway, shifting at or below 3k RPM usually, with the occasional getting on it.
