34mpg - 38mpg is normal for a torque converter auto used for relatively short runs, especially in winter. The real average at :www.honestjohn.co.uk/RealMpg/Results?manufacturer=...i is actually 37mpg.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
