5-year average: 32.16mpg

[Echostatic]

~50 days away from having had my 2007 liftback for 5 years, and I've kept track of all fuel purchases via spreadsheet. The lifetime average of the car has been 32.16!

Considering just fuel costs -
Cost per mile: $0.09
Including all inspections, registrations, oil changes, service, and replaced parts*:
Cost per mile: $0.12

Other factors -
- Automatic transmission
- I don't drive like a granny and I use the AC when I feel like it
- ODO @ 46000m
- >2/3 of the mileage is in-town commuting
- Highest-mpg commute to work was 51.1mpg (according to ScanGauge II! Hooray for green lights and nobody around.)

As far as one's First New Car experiences can go, I love this one.

*1 battery, 1 tail light bulb, 4 tires.

Getting 32 MPG in 2/3's city is pretty good. You're beating EPA estimates a bit (EPA 32 combined 50/50 city/highway).
