Those with the 2.2 4-cylinder engine, what is your average MPG? I'm getting 26.5 - 27 MPG. Just wanted to see if these results were normal.

Its rated for 26/32 so your pretty much where you should be.

I never measured it, but I know I can get to maryland on half a tank.

18 Gallon tank = 9 gallons for half a tank.

Maryland = ~250 miles, so I'm getting around 27MPG too.

Our gas tank is shaped a little funny, at half on the dash gauge, you are prob at the 40% left mark. I know this because my Solara and all my other cars usually go a while before hitting the 1/2 mark, then it's all downhill.

My Solara gets at least 300 miles by the time it hits half tank, but I never get over 500 miles on a tank unless I am all highway. For some reason, I always get 300 at half even if it's all city, then it goes down right quick to 480+ city and over 500+ with some highway.
