I know there are a few threads on this but I just wanted to share that I get 33 MPG (actual and dash) on average with 60 city and 40 highway. I am a pretty aggressive driver sometimes as I average 3500 rpm in my EX-T cruising in the city.
If I solely drove highway I would probably be getting 40-42 as I set the cruise and go...

What is your MPG on dash vs actual (calculated)?

I drive 90% or more highway miles, and average 40+ almost every time.
I think out of 200+ fill ups, only 9 have been under 40, and most of those were like 39.8 mpg.
Dash is usually 1-2.5 mpg higher then actual calculated mpg.
December and January are my worst months, July and August the best months.

Dash is 1-2 mpg higher consistently. Last fill up calculated to 35.3 and dash showed 36.7

Cold's killed my MPG recently, but overall I'm hanging out probably in the upper 30s. Usually close to 2 MPG off.

My speed preference is always higher than the "sweet spot", unless if there's annoying traffic that I want to escape from, I stay pretty calm on my right foot, mostly highway driving, and average 30 to 33, which I calculated by my data instead of what the dash shows :D

I'm probably 80% highway (least thats what I put in on Fuelly) and most of that is 70-75mph. My lifetime avg is a bit over 40. Normally car reports 1-2mpg more than "actual" numbers I get when plugging in the info to Fuelly.

I'm in the 30-32 calculated mpg range but that's like 90-95% city driving.

City stop go is always rougher on efficiency. Can only recommend gentle acceleration and higher tire psi

I am averaging 41 mpg on my car so far with 4900 miles. My driving is about 70/30 highway/suburbs.

If I fill up at the same station and same pump my mpg on the dash vs hand calculated is usually within +/- 0.2 mpg.
