Refill the tank to full, then take 575 km / whatever gallons (or litters) then you'll get your kpg or kpl

i get about 280-300 w/ 90% city and 10% highway. I've seen ppl get close to 400 mpg, but it all depends on certain factors of your car.

also, do a search, there are many threads about the same topics and reasons why you are/arent lacking gas mileage.

I haven't had my Max long, but so far I'm getting 23MPG on 89 octane and 24-25 MPG on 91 octane. My driving is about 80% highway/20% city. I hope those numbers improve when I change to synthetic oil.
