::In fact, just searching for the word mileage, I didn't see a single example on the first page where that change would be correct, or beneficial. In most vernaculars too, even when the change would be ok, it makes the sentence more awkward. I'd be cautious before changing too many of these.

::As they say, [[YMMV|your fuel economy may vary]]. But I can see myself changing some instances of "better mileage" with "greater fuel economy", although only by hand. In the U.S., the government-recognized measure of a car's fuel economy is in miles per gallon (mpg), hence the prevalence of "mileage" in this sense.--[[User:BillFlis|BillFlis]] ([[User talk:BillFlis|talk]]) 22:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
