Answer
If your going by the fuel mileage display mounted on the dash, This is only an AVERAGE amount of fuel being used. It calculates fuel mileage used even when the car is just sitting still idleing in it's computations. It is NOT that accurate.

The one thing that most everyone over looks is the air pressure in your tires. make sure thaey are at the maximum recommended inflation pressure as stated on the tires.
