I get between 19 to 21mpg with about 60% Hwy / 40% City driving. I've only gone on one long distance trip with the car and got about 23 mpg with all hwy @ 65-70 Mph.

I started out getting 14 MPG, and have slowly been getting better. I now have 1200 miles on the car and have been getting close to 18mpg as of late. This is 70% city, 30% highway. Hampton Roads, VA area. LOTS of traffic.

I get 16 to 18 city and 21 to 22 hwy. Hwy would be better if it did not want to go 88 mph all the time. :D

After almost 15,000 miles....

Mileage never worse than 15 mpg.

Most tankfuls have been "suburban" driving in central NJ, and mileage has been 17.5 to 20 mpg, mostly 18-19.

On long highway trips, mileage has gone to 23-25+ mpg.

Here in Indiana I've been getting about 21 mpg, about half highway, rest city and/or curvy country roads (too curvy to get my speed up too much ). I've got about 1700 miles and the mpg has been very consistent.

I've got around 1200 miles on the car and I have the M flash. I've been pretty consistently getting ~13 mpg or so with about 99.999% "city" driving. I don't tool around under $4K either...I can't help myself.
