Just filled up on my DI and calculated about 22 mixed city/hwy. Mind, I'm very soft on the throttle, feather it to make the tranny upshift early when cruising, coast whenever possible, and pick routes with the least amount of stops.

MPG??? You drive a Land Rover!

Actually I gave up worrying after premium fuel went over $4 last summer. And I made the mistake 2 years ago of telling my wife I was trading in the Suburban and getting a Discovery to save on gasoline!

So I changed where I normally get gas, sams club to shell and I had a 1 mpg change from what I normally get. So now my average around town is 14-15.

It will take 2-3 tanks of Shell before you really notice a difference.
A light foot, keep it under 70, use the cruise and that will net you your biggest increase in mpg.
