I have a small excel work sheet that I use to keep track of miles, gallons, price, and mpg at each fill up. With my previous dp, over a period of about six years, I averaged about 8.6 over 36,000 miles...with single measurements varying from 5 to 12 mpg. Our new dp, with only 4000 miles on it I'm only averaging 7.4 mpg.
