If you want to get a more accurate mpg, fill you tank up and drive your car for a couple of tanks of gas. As you do this, keep track of the total gallons of gas you put into it (exluding the first fill up) and the total miles driven. Simply stated, your starting point for this exercise is a full tank of gas and zero miles on your trip odometer. You don't have to fill the tank each time if you don't want to, only the last time you put gas into the tank before you do the final calculation. Then just do the math.
Total miles driven divided by gallons of gas placed into the tank = mpg
I will do this on a very long trip, to and from my destination, to calculate my highway mileage.
I get around 24 around town and 32-33 hwy.

Just so you don't think I'm nuts, here is a gas mileage thread. It supports 30- 33 mpg.

Under ideal conditions....my Bonnie pulled a little over 34 mpg....on a long trip to New Mexico...driving through the flatlands of Iowa....with a little wind at our backs.....a fresh tune up and mobil 1 in the crankcase 
....I cant say what I got on the way back though....I pushed the old girl a bit....we made 1,100 miles in a straight drive back.from 9:00 am to 3:00 the next day....what does that calculate out to...average speed? I know she cruises sweet at 90....LOL.....
