My FE avg for the 12 day road trip was 145% of the EPA's 30 mpg combined FE estimate, although it's only 120% of the 36 mpg highway estimate. If I throw out the 2 outlier tanks, I got 150% of the EPA combined mpg estimate, or 125% of the highway estimate.
The 2009 Kia Rio AT and MT both get the same 30 mpg combined estimate, but the AT gets a 35 mpg highway estimate, and the MT gets a 33 mpg highway estimate.
