I got poor mileage in the winter, too, but I don't think my data is reliable (had other issues that made the car run bad).My summer mileage has been really good. I drive about 140 miles a day, to and from work. I usually go about 70 MPH, and have been getting an average of 32 MPG. I'm not complaining about that!!

RoundUp has about 2200 km (or roughly 1400 mi). During her last tank of gas, she averaged 31 mpg (or about 9.1 litres per 100 km). It is mostly highway driving, so I guess this is a bit high. Hopefully, it will improve a bit as she accumulates more kilometers.

I just finished a 2000 km road trip in my AWD Vibe and was VERY happy with the mileage. I had a canoe on the roof, 4 adults inside and the back hatch stuffed to the roof. Still got 8.6 litres/100km!!!! (sorry, don't know what that converts to in mpg, anybody know?) Mind you, I was driving a nice sane speed, sticking between 95 kmph and 105 kmph, cause I find the mileage really dives when I take it over 110.
