Default Gas Milage ???

Just wondering what was the best
gas mileage you got? The one I had
rented for my Off-Road adventure
last year Got a 35mpg I did put Mobil 93octain
and swapped out the air cleaner to an air hog that
I had from my Dodge charger.Yeah I do silly things
like this but it fit only with a Little gap.

Default Wow!

Was that imperial gallons or regular gallons!? That was excellent gas mileage. The best I ever saw was 28 mpg when I was driving across the United States (K&N air filter and Tornado installed), but I haven't been able to match it since. With gas prices going up I would love to find more ways of getting better gas mileage.

That sounds right, my wife said that when we got 28 mpg we were averaging 75-80. The Sorento seems to like that speed.

Best I've ever gotten was 24 MPG US. That is with a tail wind and down hill . Everyday average is 20 MPG mostly Hwy. Don't drive in city traffic enought to figure anything else.

Wow, 35mpg, you sure you added that up right? I have not had my sorento long, but long enough to know it wont hit 35mpg....

Was it some sort of space fuel or maybe it was .35mpg and you forgot to put the . in
