Gen6

So slightly over 30MPG highway, combined with good performance is bad?

My Formula: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=11751

My Camry: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=22012

The new rating on the Formula is worse that what I get and I drive fairly aggressive. The new rating on the Camry is about what I get, again driving fairly aggressive.

Gen6

I was extremely impressed to get 26mpg on my second tank (V6) - while it was mostly (probably 85%) highway driving, I was still playing with my new car, so hardly drove conservatively!

I agree with those ratings alot more, even though it's the '05, I still think those are more accurate for city driving.

Those ratings are far too low.... my calculated fuel mileage is meeting the old EPA ratings without any problems at all.
Then again, I drive fairly conservatively.

I'm by far a conservative driver, lol. I do alot of quick acceleration (I paid for the V6, I want it's power ). And I get around 19-21mpg 70/30.

I think our worst tank (V6 XLE) thus far has been like 24 MPG... best about 31 MPG... can't complain.

I drive it hard when I drive... wife (daily driver) takes it easy...
