"yeah, i take it easy."

10.8 mpg, wow, I'm impressed, is that for a whole tank, or just a bout of spirited driving, and have you done any intake/engine/exhaust mods?

Ed

My best milage was on a road trip at about 28-31MPG
I average about 22-24MPG (mostly city) maybe even up to 26 when it is a lot of highway.
The worst I have ever goten was about 15-16MPG, that was becauce I ran the engine with the AC on while I was working my stereo.

That's on a 2.5L

I average about 18mpg, that includes both highway and city. I am always pushing my car hard though. All city I would probably end up around 12-13mpg.

The most I have ever got out of one tank of gas was 281miles. At 281miles the gas light came on. I didn't check the average though.
