Average US gas mileage
 

I found this surprising. What do you think the average gas mileage for cars in the US ?

PM me the answer?

hmmm lemme guess ?....20-ish

Is it the real average, or the average of the EPA estimate for all cars sold?

Real Average for all vechicles sold.

i am optimistic, so i put 23-25. there are a good amount of motorcycles sold.

i wonder if the real average mpg of the US is more or less than the average of vehicles sold.

and of course, somebody pm me the answer.

Keep Guessing.:)

I'm guessing about 17
