Drives: 2007 Rondo LX - 7 Pass., 4 Cyl. and a 1995 BMW 318ti

I get about 22 - 24 mpg (US) with 100% city driving and 25 - 30 mpg (US) 100% highway driving. I get 30 mpg if I drive around 60 mph, and 26 if I drive around 75+ mph. So I get right at the sticker (22/29).

Those figures work out to be 9.8 to 10.7 L/100 km city and 7.8 to 9.0 L/100 km highway, which also equals 94 to 102 km/10L city to 111 to 127 km/10L highway.

LX 7 pass. 2.4L auto.

Rondo - that's why its important to fully fill in your "drives" in your profile with the model and engine size.
