2000 S 3.2L w/31K miles; 30K service pending

I drive it ultra-conservatively with a round trip daily of 20 miles and usually get 16-17 MPG... this equates getting 230-250 miles on tank of gas.

On straight highway driving, I get 27-28 MPG and get close to 350 miles on a tank of gas.

I always reset the trip computer at each fill up and will always calculate MPGs by miles driven/gallons with calculator to compare the computer. The computer always reads ~1 MPG higher. The values posted above are the lower, hand calculated MPGs.

I'm hoping for some improvement once I complete the 30K service.
