First off, I'm not saying I'm not happy with the car and I'm complaining. I love it and it is hard to complain about the money I'm saving in gas right now. However, there are 2 things that have not been true for me of what's advertised, and I want this to be a chance for you all to tell me what I'm doing wrong over what the car's doing wrong.
The 2 things I was expecting that have not come true are both related to the overall MPG. I was expecting high 40's city (maybe even 50's in some instances since I had read several people say they get that) and low 40's hwy. I'm actually getting on average 36-38 city and 40-42 hwy. That leads me to my second expectation not coming true, and that is I should have higher MPG in the city than on the hwy. That has not been true for me as you can see. Hwy is slightly higher than city. I've attributed this to living in Little Rock, AR, which is a hilly city, but I've read about people in parts of CA that is far more hilly that are getting better numbers.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a certain way to drive, or should I utilize the B position instead of D all the time? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
