    I am now getting 51+ mpg in mostly low mileage trips. I have had the car for two weeks. It is great. I hope that the computer is correct.

    I find that the computer is pretty close. For me it is usually 1-3 mpg more than my hand calculations. I am averaging 56 mpg. Your calculations will be more correct as your mileage and amount of gas used increases.
