I would never believe the message center. It's a selling toy on a vehicle. If I did that on my 04 Freestar Limited, I would be getting 6-14 MPG. Where in reality I get between 17-18 MPG back and forth to work (18 miles round trip and 550 foot climb in altitude from my house to the site I work at) and anywhere from 21-30 MPG on the highway depending on what speed I drive, route I take and weather conditions. These are based on actual miles devided by gallons of fuel used.
