In my stop/go short drives in the city I was typically around 14mpg
while on the times it was mainly highway it was regularly in the 25
range. I often touched the 30mpg range on long highway drives. Avg
32mpg from Providence to Philly on one journey. Since my mix had
become 95% city, the cost of premium was killing me and my average was
closing on 11mpg on some weeks. It was the final deciderer in selling
the car (that and knowing it went to a list member).

I know quite a few of us watch our MPG religiously since it so often
indicates an issue in our cars when it drops. This whole cash for
clunkers
debate had me talking elsewhere about the fueleconomy.gov rating for our
cars (14mpg.) And of course, folks over there can't seem to wrap their
heads around how an older V8 powered car can possibly get 18, 19, or
even
20mpg for an overall mpg average. So if you all know your mpg, what
are you
getting?
My 1990 seems to average around 17 city, 22ish highway, and tank to tank
around 19 doing about 3/4 in town 1/4 highway.
