Best gas mileage I ever got was 21mpg (all highway at 70-85 mph speed). Worst was about 13.5mpg around town. I do have a "heavy foot" on the accelerator. My numbers are real. Don't believe the government mileage estimates! They are hogwash in my experience. I still have the new car sheet that estimated gas mileage for this car at 28hwy/21city. 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liter
