well, so far i've filled my E up twice since i got it, & i haven't been doing a lot of driving. it's just been around town, & i've taken the back seats out - so haven't had any weight in to speak of.
1st time calculation = 17.54 mpg
2nd time calculation = 16.37 mpg
i was a little dismayed to see that the 2nd calculation (w/seats out, & even warmer weather) was lower than the 1st, which to me is kind of pitiful.
i've heard there's a "break-in" period - that mpg will go up. do you know if this actually happens? has anyone gotten as poor mpg as i have?
i'm taking a trip up north tomorrow, & most will be highway miles. don't know if i can expect 5 mpg better during that trip though, especially since i'll be loaded down somewhat. also, 5 mpg over 16.37 isn't exactly something that makes me very happy...
oh well.
