any info you find probably wont be that accurate. why dont you try figureing out what you are really getting. AKA, doing the math. incase you dont know how, take and fill up your tank. wright down the miles on the odomiter, or if you have a trip that works too, just make sure you reset it. then drive for a while. it doesnt really matter how many miles you put on it cuz its an average of every kind of driving you do. i would say atleast use a quarter of a tank, at the minumum. a half would be better and a full tank would be even better, cuz the more you drive the more it actualy tells the true average, but its not going to be alot different. ok after you drive for a while, go to a gas station, and fill back up, then take the number of gallons you put in and devide the number of the mile you drove by the number of gallons and there you go. if you end up only putting in a partial tank before filling up again all you have to do is wright down the number of gallons you put in for the partial and, DO NOT RESET THE TRIP ODOMITER, let it keep going until you fill all the way up, then take and add the two, or more, numbers of gallons you have put in and devide the total number of miles, sence the last time you filled up, by the total nunber of gallons. then there you go also. i hope all that made sence. if not let me know and ill simplifly hopefully.

sounds semi normal, try changing your spark plugs next time you do your oil.
