Normally 19-21 with city and suburban highway (45-55 mph speeds with stop lights every mile). Typical freeway/interstate is 26. I did get 28 on the interstate for one tank two years ago. 2011 S manual.

S model with manual
avg around 24 mpg with mixed hwy/suburban driving
20 mpg in the city - don't do much of that
Spirited driving mpg - who cares

27+- mpg pure Hwy
I can see 35 +- mpg hwy if I reset MPG once I'm up to speed
The more they run the better the MPG
I drove 5 hours straight on Hwy @75-85 mph before refilling. I still had 100+ miles showing before empty
Long hwy trips these things can get over 400-450 miles to a tank. Typically when it gets under a 1/4 tank, I usually start looking to refill in the next 20 miles

My 98' (75,000 total miles w/manual transmission) gets 26-28 mpg in a 50/50 mix of urban an highway driving......I shift around 3,000 rpm usually. It's not a "race car" so I don't push it.

Btw.... topping it off is a PITA.... it's a very poorly vented tank.

Just expressway, I think I can get 360 miles out of a tank. It's scary though. And lots of people have qualms about running a tank low. I'm just too lazy to stop for gas until I absolutely have to.

I recently managed that with my 3.2 which I thought was pretty good. A little more than 14 gallons went in on fill up.
