Woman Gas Mileage

I had a chick drive my car this past week and she got 331 mi. on 17.5 gal., which works out to 18.9 mpg.

I drive the car and get 245 mi. on 17.0 gal., which is 14.4 mpg--under similar traffic conditions!

WTF!?

I'm on a tear this week.... 185 miles driven, I've used about 2/5ths of my tank up(according to the gauge... though I'm not sure how accurate it is), and I've been averaging 26.7 MPG. I'm on pace to smash my personal record for most miles out of a tank in the G.

I decided to baby the **** out of my car this week, just to see how good I could get the milleage to be.

First off the mpg on this car is pathetic. I do a lot of city driving though due to my work profession but on a full tank 17.5 I get a good 340 miles. Results of course are way better cruising on the highway. Still im seeing the gas station about every 4 and a half days so im thinking of buying a honda for a daily driver now. The car is great otherwise.
