    Little tree air fresheners. Clazzio black leather seat covers.
    Add some mud terrains, bed rack, CVT tent and some gas cans off the bed rack and really watch the mpgs drop...

    I have the V6. According to Edmunds, the ACLB has a `100 pound advantage.

    4,325 - ACLB
    4,425 - DCSB

    I dont understand how you can avg 14 unless you HAMMER the throttle, drive exclusively city, and have fat non-stock tires.

    It's so far off my experience that i almost think people lie when they say such low numbers.

    A head scratcher for sure, but I often wonder how close to the edge of insolvency people are when they start bitching a drop about fuel economy. If it's hurting that bad it might be time for some of you to look into a Prius

    I've changed nothing other than go to a lower octane and i do none of what you mentioned and have lost an honest 3 mpgs. On the highway the other day I could only get about 15 mpg where normally I'd get better than 20-22.5.

    When you go from 19.1 to 14.9 for no apparent reason, it leads one to want an answer.

    Do you actually get that mileage or is it just what the computer says?

    Way to be civil.

    Never hurts to pay attention and discuss what your getting, could show or alert you to an issue with your vehicle.

    I don't expect Prius mpgs but way to be Mercian, consume and don't care.

    This is my winter mileage. Summer I get ~1 mpg better on average. Stock tires and suspension, for now...

    Lol. Internet sense right there. You tell some on to suck it over mpgs, then tell me to lighten up.
