I only get just about 20-23 mpg for my fuel mileage. Sucks because there are som many hills here. Most of the driving in Alaska translates to city driving though. Our Highways suck here.

Am I the only one getting more and more menacing glares from people driving SUVs and other
gas guzzler type vehicles?

Yup.

...and whose fault is it that they bought an SUV for grocery getting anyway?

I'm not complaining but you have to admit mileage our is weak.

It seems pretty middle of the road for the class to me. I mean, there are better and there are worse. It's pretty pointless to compare it to a Prius or some econobox with a 4 banger or less if that's what you mean.

Mileage is going to vary based on driving style as well. If you're 99% city with a Fujita like me then you can expect about 18mpg. With more highway and care you can get closer to 30mpg.

I get a LOT of people who assume the S2K gets better gas mileage than it does. I'm not complaining but you have to admit mileage our is weak.

That's funny, around here most people I talk to assume I'm getting lower gas mileage since it's a sports car. However very few of them probably know that it only has a 2.0ltr engine.
