That's what the SG reads when I fill. Don't do a lot of highway driving.

I voted 31-40 mph but it's usually closer to the bottom of that range.

50+ usually, I do more highway than city

Ditto about highway versus city. I'll cruise at 40-55mph, but on the routine ~120 mile trips (maybe 25/75 city/highway), the average will be near 50mph right on the dot because of accelerating to 70-80mph and coasting on some stretches. If it's a weekday, I'll end up cruising at ~60mph, so the average is proportionally higher.

I don't have a scangauge, but drive in city/stop and go conditions most of the time. I picked 21-30mph.

I probably closer to 30mph.

Normally I average 27mph, but it was slowing outside today.

21-30 for me. mostly in town driving at 40-45 tops.

[basjoos]

My commute is mostly interstate where I do 50 to 55mph when I am driving in at 4AM and there is little traffic. On the way home in the evenings when there is a lot more traffic, I'm doing 60 to 65mph.

Lots of highway driving -- the average in both cars is in the 30's. The 'Teg does its best at 55-60 with load.

I answered 'over 50' - as the majority of my driving is above 50. No Scangauge / SuperMID to test with yet, so it might be 41-50, but I don't slow down to very low speeds.

Since I have changed my driving techniques I have avg. 44 mpg on my last two tanks of gas. I do 80% hwy 20% city so the majority my speed is anywhere above 55 to 65. I have been doing alot of EOC.

Mid 30s? Is that good? 30 Miles per HOUR is pretty fast for a "tank average"! :-)
If we're talking MPGallon... this is Civic-country, is it not? Methinks 4 small cylinders would get this average. 4 cylinders and a stick-shift! Auto trans?...maybe not....
I'm getting ~38 MPG average (mix of a little urban and a lot of higher speed cruise) as indicated by my (factory) MPG computer read-out. This is on my modified gasoline... which is 87 octane. The factory recommended gas is 93 octane. Notice how this number is meaningless without the engine size / final drive ratio / tranny type being used.
If we're talking average speed per tank fill-up... we're back to meaningless numbers, again. What means this? Someone please enlighten me.... -whitevette

Ted it's MPH not MPG.

I voted 40-50 mph. It is probably a low guess. I don't have a scangauge or anything, but My commute is all highway except for 10% or so, which are rural roads getting to and from highway. On the highway I go between 55-60mph. Unfortunately, all but a couple miles of the highway part of the drive have a minimum speed of 55mph ,semis 60 mph, max speed limit of 70 mph, so I can't go any slower legally than I do already.
