Congrats, but be sure to say a small prayer for continued low oil prices.

Its not that bad. I got 13 out of the first tank...and that included a lot of "just seein' what she can do honey!!" moments. That's better than my ML got when gas was $4.50 a gallon.

I expect to get 14 average, I can live with it.

3.5L V6, Honda Ridgeline. I drive like a fucking animal though... my old man has the same truck (2 years older) and he gets 16 around town, nearly 20 highway.

The best I've done is just shy of 19 highway over one tank coming back down here from Ohio. Most of the time I was just shy of 18mpg.

That's about what I get out of my V6 Liberty...maybe 1 mpg better or so.
