personal experience. with a perfect drive and properly inflated tires just regular driving. No engine off coasting or neutral coasting I Have achieved 36mpg U.S. on the gauge… not sure how accurate the gauge is but I can at least assume I'm close.
Not necessarily. Factory MPG gauges are generally a bit optimistic. When my Mustang's gauge indicated 34 MPG for the tank, actual was only 32.3 MPG.

I usually average about 29-30mpg in my van.
Your fuel log indicates closer to 25-26 MPG.
