Default For those of you that manually calculate MPG...

I usually calculate mine manually every time I go to the pump. Over the last 3 years, I've averaged just about 24MPG City/Highway Combined, Mostly highway though. Maybe once or twice I saw it go down to like 21/22..I have a 2007 IS350.

What do you guys usually get MPG wise? I've always been a firm believer that if your MPG stays high, your engine is in good shape, so I've always been OCD about calculating it.

When I drove 95% city, I was getting 18-19. But now that I live nearer to a major highway, I've been taking that more, which has swayed my MPGs over to my last tank avg of 21.5.
