Short around town trips of 2-5 miles gets me 39-41 mpg.
Long highway driving at 70 mph on cruise control gets over 50 mpg.
I’ve logged every single fill up since I bought the car in a notebook kept in my glove box. The mileage shown on the car display closely matches my miles divided by gallons.
I thought all new cars had that little MPG thing in them.
My 2018 Colorado V-6 does. And it seems to be accurate. I generally average 23 to 26mpg. It's advertised as 18 city, 25 highway. Most of my driving is highway so.. I would generally wind up on the high end. And while not attempting 'hypermiling' or anything like that.. I am very easy on the gas and brakes.
2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i - 25 to 29 mpg, depending on where I'm driving. Usually around 26 mpg.

My husband gets individual trip mileages in the high 50's, low 60's. I don't do nearly as well. I'm the primary driver and do try to hypermile. Not sure what he's doing that I don't. He does use cruise control a lot and I never use it.
My 2013 Honda Civic gets between 35 and 40mpg. Shes a great little commuter car for my hubby to use. Meanwhile his 2006 Honda Ridgeline gets around 22 mpg. It's all highway driving up here so that's a plus for our mileage. Zero stop and go traffic, and only one stoplight in our entire valley.
If you have a gas engine Soul those numbers are way out of line. EPA estimate is around 25 city, 30 highway and 27 combined. Unless you're talking kilometers per US gallon.
My son had a 2003 Saturn ION (26/33 I think EPA rating). Since it was otherwise a pretty boring appliance, he used to have fun hypermiling. He typically managed to get in the high 40s. So, you can beat the EPA numbers. At least the 2003 numbers. I understand they change the methods at times.

I typically get what the EPA predicts as a highway average for combined city and highway real world driving. My Vibe with the 2.4 liter engine should get 22 to 28 but I average 28 and sometimes get 30 mpg.
2014 Ford Focus. 45-48 MPG highway driving and usually around 35 MPG in the city. About 30 MPG in winter driving conditions.
2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. Best mileage I got on the highway was 26-27 MPG; it usually averages around 25 or 26. City driving it is closer to 21 MPG.
2000 Ford Windstar. Highway driving about 22 MPG and city driving around 15 MPG. I didn't get the van for its gas economy though
