    Most of it is in the signature - total gallons: 499.15
    Additional data - Gallons saved vs '95 Odyssey (guestimating 20 MPG winter 22 Summer: 584. $$ saved: $1,406. Pays for its own insurance :)

    It can get FREAKING cold here. Drives down the lifetime. Summer avg: 50+ I don't have the spreadsheet set up to calculate this. My best tank was 56.5 - 446 miles

    Total Miles = 9313
    Total Gals = 174.541
    Avg MPG = 53.4 Avg MPG (MFD) = 55.5 MFD reads about 4% high

    Low MPG = 48.4 (MFD corrected 4% down)
    High MPG = 55.4 (MFD corrected 4% down)

    Calculations base on individual tank fills can vary significantly due to inconsistent fill levels; a better estimate for individual tanks can be obtained by taking the MPG reading from the MFD and correcting down by 4%).

    Bought my '06 on /15/06.

    Has 6,200 miles on it now. Like I have seen others in this thread mention, I am not saving reciepts and tracking my mileage as it were a religion. :) I have probably filled up 20 times and I reset the comsumption screen each time. All but three times I have filled up showing over 50MPG. Uusally around 52.

    Just a while back I was saying all but once I was getting over 50 per tank.

    I have noticed a slight down trend in my MPG. Just enough to notice but it still staying at 50 point something... the only change I know of... I got my HOV stickers about three weeks ago. I now avoid most bumper to bumper freeway traffic on may of my trips. And that freeway grind traffic was where I got my best mileage. Kinda ironic that by buying a high MPG mpg car, you can be afforded the privilege of driving around conditions that give you the highest fuel efficiency.

    2006, 7 months old, 6,087 miles and 49.89 mpg! :blink: I'm really bummed - .3 gallons from being an even 50 mpg... :angry: With this cold weather blowing in, I'll never make it in the next 9 months.

    Still 130% better (2.3x) than my previous car. B)

    Lifetime avg: 50.2 MPG (58 tanks)
    Lowest MPG: 42.3 (4th tank)*
    Highest MPG: 61.0 (30th tank)
    Current mileage: 28,402

    Took possession of my car 10/21/05. It had 54 miles on it then. I fill up when I've used approx. 10 gallons.

    *I experimented with the 4th tank. I wanted to see what would happen if I just drove the car, with the MFD off and without using P&G. For reference, here are the numbers for my first 5 tanks:
    1- 42.4
    2- 45.7
    3- 48.7
    4- 42.3
    5- 46.6 (temps dropping for the winter)

    I finally found a club with low standards. :p

    10277 miles
    208.314 gallons
    49.3 mpg

    The lifetime average is very stable. Tank averages are consistant. Still hoping to break 50mpg lifetime.
