    Suburban low-speed driving?

    Manual or auto.

    I get 24 on a high-speed trip, and 15-17 around town with my non-VANOS engine.

    It's still fun to chime in.

    I drive my car approximately 7 miles per day. The dash tells me 12 mpg. I did drive to Illinois last week and put on about 900 miles. That brought things up to 17 mpg, but we're creeping back down now.

    I do mostly city driving and get 15 to 16 mpg according to the OBC. (Automatic transmission). Never really measured mpg for a true highway venture.

    It depends on what oil you use.
