Just came back from a 1500mile vacation - 26.5

The DIC was within .5 of calculated on my vacation trip.

All suburban/subdivision roads , no highway, high 18s. Maybe into the low 20s if I hit all the lights green...

I average around 18 on most tanks. On the hwy I go 70-80, in the "city" there are a lot of 50 and 55 roads, but I usually get to those speeds rather quickly.

My DIC tends to read about 1 mpg low on long hwy drives (i.e. it will say 28.5 and really I will have 29.5). Oddly in the city it seems to be just about right on.

95/5 city/highway I get 15.5. I reset everytime I get gas and also do the math (miles/gal). DIC is always .2-.3 higher than calculated.
