funny, but nope. Mpg has gotten better but not 25 and I’m thinking it’s because of the weather.

I am not sure if this helps in any way but here are my numbers.

Did 278.5 miles from full talk to three bars on the odometer.
Keep in mind that my trips are 75% freeway and 25% street.
Filled it up with $39 and was 11.64 Gallons



Did 278.5 miles from full talk to there

This is about what I get as well. I did notice a 2-3 mpg gain when I went from 200tw summers to 500tw all seasons.

20.7 is well within a margin of error between car, driver, tires, environment etc. Certainly nothing wrong with your car.
