Whip, I'm into the right peddle every morning as I have really great back road commute. That being said, even when I do a lot of highway driving it makes little difference. 19.5 is the best I've done, 14.9 is the worst.

Flat level constant speed hwy should be 28-30mpg
Typical around town 18-22mpg
Race track 10mpg

The fun pedal is everything on these cars.

My 2001 S stock gets around 28-30 cruising on the highway at 70mph

about 19-22 city driving according to the MPG indicator under the tach.

If you are using that to get a reading you need to reset it now and then so it can recalculate the AVG for where your driving, highway or City.

Tires are 32 psi fronts and 36 psi Rears

I calculate mpg for every tank and keep a running avg with an iPhone app. I have never gotten more than 310 miles out of a tank and I was running on fumes when I did that...16.83gal tank took 16.708 .
