This is an SE hatchback manual with EPA ratings of 28mpg city, 37mpg highway.
Mine said 37.4 and when I filled up got 37.0. If I had put in a few more or less ounces it would have changed my calculation. I think the computer is very accurate. A/C working hard and lots of differernt types of driving.
