That MPG is much more believable.

I don't know if you were talking about me or not so I apologize, On my spreadsheet only the blue columns pertain to US measurements but I have worked in some conversions and maybe I don't have eneough miles on my PT to accurately assess gas mileage, all that I can say that gas mileage is all over the place.

On a 700 km (one way) trip: 70L = 10L/100km = 23.5 MPG

5% city
45% road
55% highway

3 adult passengers, lot of stuff (luggage for 3, 2x full golf bags + carts), A/C turned on 40% of the time, 65 mph on the road, 75 mph highway.

I thought that I was losing my mind because my MPG was all over the place. I finally started using fuelly and realized that I was getting horrible gas mileage at two particular gas stations--Aafes on the military base that I work on. The funny thing is I can buy Aafes gas on the military base that my husband has AF Reserve duty on and get "normal" MPG.

Surprising what different brands of gas will give you different MPG.

As I said in my previous post, it just the Aafes gas on the Army Base (Fort Rucker) that I work on. I can buy Aafes gas at Eglin AFB and I get normal MPG. I dunno if they use a different supplier or what. We have tried it in both of our cars with the same results over a 6 month period. Weird.
