That's really weird how the mileage would be so comparable.

I am getting 22 mpg. to 32 mpg. from my 07 VW GTI.
This is a big improvment over my 4.3 liter V6 (GMC S15) or 260 cubic inch V8 (Cutlass) or 5.7 Liter (Chevy 4X4)! Funny becuase I have 1966 VW Beetle and it gets about the same as the 07!

@GBHUGVA

"2004-2007 Toyota claimed 60 mpg city/51 mpg highway later in 2008 it was changed to 48 mpg city/45 mpg highway still higher than we get. "

Those are NOT Toyota claims.

Those are EPA estimates which Toyota can use in its advertising. The revised numbers are again EPA numbers. All brands had their numbers revised. Why make misleading statements? And, all EPA numbers carry the "Your mileage may vary" caveat.

I routinely get better than the EPA 37 MPG highway mileage on my Corolla CE. Last long trip I got 41 MPG.

"Honda like Toyota lies about MPG's, The wifes Prius got 40.3(395miles on 9.8gal) last fill NOT the 60/51 Toyota claims."

2004-2007 Toyota claimed 60 mpg city/51 mpg highway later in 2008 it was changed to 48 mpg city/45 mpg highway still higher than we get.

Our 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid gets 32.5 most of the time, paid 10grand
the wifes P.O.S. 2004 prius only gets 40.3 not 60 like they said, but she got it for 7grand, ok beater I guess, but the Ford is our favorite, better quality for sure!

reb4, that driving 30-40mph in 45-55limit roads will get you rear-ended, oh maybe your into that kinda thing!

I did a round trip pulling a trailer today(about 230 miles total) moving and aveaged right at 15 mpg. Not bad for a truck that is only supposed to get 18 mpg on the highway to start with huh?

I'm heading from Northern Michigan to Arizona on Sunday so I'll have a better idea then. I Just bought a 1998 Class B van and so far it looks like I may get 15-17 on the highway but that is at 70mph. I plan to go 60mph all the way.

Unless you're saying what vehicle you're driving, simple numbers don't mean anything. bahFL says: 21.75. There's a big difference if he's talking about driving a 2011 Volkswagon diesel, or a 2011 Chevy Cruze, or a 2011 Ford 350 pick-up truck. As is, this topic is not Fuel Economy; it's Just For Fun.
