The thing is rated for 13mpg combined. Doing the percentage-above-EPA calculation for that, 18 is crazy. Especially with an automatic that HATES coming out of neutral over 25mph, preventing EOC and PnG. My injectors never turn off below 3,500rpm, and at idle it burns more than my roommate's Saturn does cruising. Aside from driving slowly and avoiding the brakes, you're pretty much just along for the ride in this thing.

It's like the'50s, really.
