I'm guessing 25.5mpg.

This is assuming that the traffic is dense but well negotiated and that the 21mpg rating is accurate for the particular journey that you have. I'm not sure if they are giving you a 2WD, AWD or 4WD model.

From the highway EPA number given, that would be a 4x4.

27.6 ... I feel like this is the price is right ... lol

That would be hilarious if you removed the rack and returned it with overinflated tires, a full front end full of blue tape due to grille blocking, synthectic oil in the engine and tranny, plus wheel skirts.

With your answer being, "Yep, it's the most economical thing I have ever rented from here .. thanks ..."

Well I made my trip up there. The car is nice. Lot's of room, quite, comfortable ride but it is a brick. The transmission wants to down shift at the smallest grade. It takes a very light foot to keep it in 6th. Coasting was not the best in or out of gear. I did have about 30 minutes of rush hour stop and go and I did not add any fuel when I picked it up because the gauge was reading full. It was also cool enough that I could run without the AC.

Totals: 235.6 miles @ 8.3 gallons for 28.38 mpg. Looks like c0da got pretty darn close. W00T
