maybe you have something that needs maintenance like.. DPFE, or O2 sensor that is causing you to have poor fuel economy?

but yea.. your driving could be the issue.. i could get 7mpg in my WRX and 12mpg in my 328 if i really wail on it

Prolly something with the car unless you are doing 150 all the time. In all honesty, driving to get the max fuel economy is a pain in the ass, I do it just to challenge myself. Never go over 90k, shift every gear at 16-1800rpm max and very slight acceleration. Play the traffic lights, accel/decel is where are the fuel is wasted. I try as much as possible not to stop on my commute. If I have to coast 400m to the light hoping it will change I'll do that. It's really easy to piss people off so you have to be careful LOL

I also try to fill up early morning or late at night and I always fill up when I get to half a tank. When it is cooler you get more gas for your money and the fuel system works a bit better with more than half a tank. I'm trying to get 5.9L/100k out of the wagon if I can.

I drive west on Mayfield rd from mcvean to dixie and the catch the 410. So I probly do a bit more city driving than highway.
