I finally got another chance to drive my wife's Encore GX today. I put on 160 mostly highway miles, after she had put on 46 short trip miles. I drove at 56 to 58 MPH in 55 speed limits, and used DWL and DWB. The temperature averaged 86 deg F and humid, with the AC running hard because she likes it cold. There was a light cross wind halfway, then a tailwind.
Total miles 206.1, total fuel 5.047 gallons, for 40.8 actual MPG. The dash display claimed 40.9 MPG. The Lie-O-Meter did not lie.
Estimating my actual MPG by subtracting my wife's miles at her average 31 MPG, it looks like my real mileage for today was about 45 MPG.
