Allright, we're getting some age and miles on the Regals. Whats your avg mpg?
I bring this up because, long story short...
I spend a lot of time in gas sucking v8's. A 1999 Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van - doing good to avg 12 mpgs. And a 2007 Duramax Silverado - 25 on the eway, but modded for long hauls on the Eway.
So I bought a little rice burning gas sipper thats about half the size of my Silverado and got to thinking, hmmm this 2011 Scion xB has a 2.4L the same size as the Regal. I wonder who can get better MPG's, The Agent (aka WIFE) or me. The Regal or the xb.
(hopefully) here is the EPA comp on the Regal and the xB:
Compare Side-by-Side
I know I have the advantage. Smaller, lighter car. Stick shift vs auto. And a couple million miles under my belt, a lot of it trying to get good mpgs.
so, almost 3000 miles on the Scion xB and here is my avg:

I will keep adding my tanks, so the link should keep updated.
Taking a break from washing/waxing the Regal. I'll post her lifetime avg in a few.....
When I started "the challenge" She was at a liftime avg of 24.x. She has been doing good to bring it up. And she has had a couple tanks at 29 mpgs.
So, What's your avg MPG's?
and for giggles, here is the van. (I'll start posting tanks soon)
