New car mileage

The last three 2-3 year old vehicles (all Mopars) I've bought have gotten better mileage than their EPA estimates.

The last 2 have gotten their highway EPA estimate in mixed driving.

With the Renegade and the kona, the car's cruise control can do a MUCH better job of figuring our where to set the throttle for a given speed.

If I use my foot, and observe "real time" MPG and then activate cruise, there is an immediate 10+ MPG increase.

...and the EVIC in that car is right on the money as far as calculating MPG.
The 03 PT didn't have one, so I got a "ScanGauge" and checked it with math.
The 2000 Dakota is .5 MPG lower per tank than calculated, so it's actually better than it thinks it is.

Both the Renegade and the kona have "adult friendly" back seats.
