*Son started Kindergarten this August. It's completely wiped out my MPG in the Sonata. This is attributable to pickup line idle time.
'22 Palisaide: 18 mpg
'23 Sonata: 19 mpg*

Yes sir, but the harbor freight version, I kind of inherited it. it should make servicing alot easier
Not to hijack your post, but this is where a hybrid would shine.
You be sitting there or inching forward with the AC blasting in EV mode.

I just filled up the wife's Mustang this evening and calculated the mileage. The tripometer showed exactly 300.0 miles on 11.682 gallons which comes out to 25.68 mpg. That's better than I expected considering at least 200 of those 300 miles were short trips.

Which vehicle is that on?
Oops. 2021 Corolla. Higher than it should be. Waiting to see how long that it will hold out like that. But I have been avoiding rush hour, anything over 70 and do a lot coasting when I can.
Thanks! Toying with replacing my Cobalt before economy sedans all but disappear so it's interesting to hear what people are getting. I'd like to get one more MT but might have a hard time justifying versus the MPG some automatics are putting up!
So I have no love for the car, but, it's a 4 door sedan, so that's almost unique these days.
The CVT when driven sedately really isn't bad. Put your foot in it and it's not so great... I do that rarely, and the hated "shift emulation" I think becomes welcome. Otherwise it just keeps the rpm low, never going past say 2k. On a hill on the highway it goes up a bit--but gone are the "big jumps" that a 4AT or 5MT would have.
OTOH coasting is a bit more challenging, I think. It tries to jam into top gear more often. So using coast to slow down results in little engine braking. Now that's good--and bad. Just something to live with. I engaged cruise a few times and I think it "downshifts" to hold speed, rather than letting it pick up, when going down a hill. That can be good and bad, I don't mind overshoot speed so I don't like, but if you are in a heavily patrolled area, that may be good.
Will say, when the traffic picks up, it just does what it needs to do.

The Outback does a lot of engine braking in cruise down the hills, so either I'll manually adjust the cruise speed up(rocker switch on steering wheel) or disengage it.
I'll also slowly knock the cruise speed down when climbing a hill to avoid a big rpm increase, which can help increase mileage quite a bit. It seems in our rolling hills, the car would downshift and blast up the hill to arrive at the top at the upper limit of the cruise speed and then hit the engine braking hard all the way down, only to rev up to climb the next one right from the bottom of the hill...
Manually adjusting the cruise speed to avoid excessive engine braking and then high throttle inputs saves a good amount of gas!
